Kung Fu Panana

Jordan told Jake he wanted to watch Kung Fu Panda but it came out as Kung Fu Pana. Now Jake thinks it is Kung Fu Panana (as in: banana).

There is something hilarious about a little Hispanic boy speaking Chinese. His new favorite word is...surprise...'bu yao!' He picked up on that very quickly. He uses it very matter of factly, as if it is completely normal for him to be speaking Chinese. His favorite rendition is, 'bu yao, bu yao, bu yao.' Passionate...that's Jake! He also says 'thank you' in Chinese and Kate has taught him the cute little hand motion that goes with it. In China, they have the kids clasp their hands in front of them and then move them up and down while they say, "Xie xie." We cracked up when we heard Jake say it while using the hand motion.

We are pumping Kate with raisins to help her intestinal woes, but Jake is not allowed to eat them. They have a tendency to make him 'poop his back.' Translation: the diaper will not hold the contents and they go up to his neck. Well....Jake LOVES raisins so it is torture for him to watch Kate eating them. He has been seen sneaking a few that fell out of her box, and ended up with a 'poop my back.' Gross! When I opened his diaper and groaned, he said, 'Take a bath?' and grinned at me.

Well...back to my glamorous life. I need to attack that laundry pile that is rivaling Mt. Rushmore.
