Toy story dilemma

Os meninos estão sempre brincando de "pretend". Por causa do Toy Story 3 (pois é, não escapamos da Disney) o Matthyew é o Buzz e o Nathan é o Woody. Conversa entre eles":
M:"Woddy, are you a cowboy?"
N:"Yep"
M:"So, Bullseye is a cow"?
N:"No, he is not a cow, he is a horse"
M:"Why?"
N:"hmmm, because he is brown"
M:"So you are a horseboy?"
N:"No, I am a cowboy."
pausa...
M:"That's crazy!"

It sure is

low maintenance kids

I love how low-maintenance the boys can be when they are playing. They are easily entertained with so little. A few days ago they spent the entire morning looking at the Lego website, featuring Toy Story toys. All they need is a picture to come up with stories and adventures. Some other precious moments :)

Things 3 year olds say nowadays

Tenho que registrar algumas frases que os meninos dizem que não tinhamos idéia na mesma idade.

"On demand" - quando querem assistir algum desenho
"I want to do my communication" - quando estão usando computador
"Quem mandou email pra vc?"
"There, the Eifel tower. You don't see it? It is on the Google Maps?"

laughing out loud

Hoje a Naomi começou a dar risada. Ela começou a sorrir um pouco depois de um mês (dia 16 de novembro), mas hoje foi uma gargalhada mesmo. Quem conseguiu com que ela risse foi no Nathan. Depois tentamos fazer ela repetir mas não deu. Ela é fã dos irmãos mesmo.

google translator

Hoje voltando pra casa os meninos estavam falando. Mamãe, a Mrs Schroeder é a lao-shr da escola dela, né? Eu: sim. Lao-shr em português é professora, e em inglês é teacher.
Eles: e em taiwanês?
Eu: Eu não sei,, porque eu não sei falar taiwanês
Eles: Só o papai?
Eu: Sim
Nathan: Mamãe, vc tem que procurar no Google

Será que eles já sabem usar o Google translator? hehe

Dancing

The boys definitely can tell there is a party - and a dance floor
