Wait! Are you ready?

1)Each night around 7:30 Sophia starts to fuss around. She rubs her eyes, climbs all over us, and snuggles into her stuffed animals, pillows, and blankets. We run her bath, get her "nakie", and bathtime ensues. She LOVES her baths. So many fun toys to play with, bubbles to dip her hair into, and splash splash splash she goes. She especially loves her many, many ducks. She says "duckkkkkkkkkkkkk" then she quacks and quacks, although it sounds much more like a roar. After getting "all clean" and letting her play a while (she would play for hours if we let her) we pull her out, dry her off, and get her into her jammies. We read a book (or three) then turn out the lights. Every night I hold her while Daddy leans in to give her a kiss and she repays him with kiss, after kiss, after kiss then tells him "na-nite". We lay her down and (9 nights out of 10) she goes right to sleep. Last week we had gone through the majority of the nightly routine when she threw us a curve ball. "All clean" and ready to get in bed, Daddy leaned in for his kiss but Soph pulled back. She stuck out her hand, palm out to Daddy and said "Wait!" Haha! This is not something that we tell her often, especially not with the full hand motion. He tried again and again she told him "Wait!" She has since returned to the normal routine. She continues to stick out her hand and tell Chuck to "wait"...especially when he climbs up on to her chair wanting scraps of food:)


2) Last night, in the usual fashion of the Elflein's on Monday nights, we were watching the pregame of Monday Night Football. Hank Williams Jr. was signing the familiar "Are you ready for some football?" only tonight, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, he sang the end of the song in Spanish.

"Estas listo para football?!"

I listened carefully, as I was curious if he was actually saying right.
Then I asked Ken, "Estas listo para football?"
"Oh yeah!", he said.
Next I asked Sophia, "Estas listo para football?"
She yelled, "Yessssss!!!"

Sophia habla espanol.
