While we all wait around for Bebe Dois (Dear Child, You have 10 more hours before you are officially late...Mama isn't a big fan of tardiness, Young Lady!), here's a video of Gabriela from a couple weekends ago. It's mostly Portuguese. I thought I might add subtitles so everyone can understand, but, well, that's too much work right now. You will notice how confused she is and responds with, "Huh?" when Eric repeats a question to her in English. That totally cracks me up!

Anyway, she is munching away on a huge plum (only the third time we gave her a piece of fruit in it's entirety where she was able to eat the whole thing without help!) Eric asks her several questions including the sounds of a dog, cat, and bear, along with what a Mexican and Indian say. (No, not exactly PC, I know, but Eric has Mexican nationality so he can do that, right? And the Indian thing, well, that came from a Brasilian video with kids' songs --the only TV she gets to watch.) She also displays some of her sign language, "Potty" and "Please", at the end.

Emily,

How do I watch this? I can't seem to figure it out.

Very nice! Raising bilingual kids brings benefits in the future.
