Morgan has blond hair and blue eyes-if you haven't noticed. She also occasionally shows us her Spanish accent. Have to say it's pretty darn cute. We are very lucky to have an amazing babysitter for the kids-Zelia has watched Morgan since she was just a year old. Zelia adores Morgan-she has secretly told us that Morgan is her favorite of all the kids she has ever watched. And it's pretty obvious when we see them interacting. Zelia even called Morgan from Brazil while she was on vacation and cried because she missed Morgan so much!
Anyway Zelia is from Brazil and her husband Jorge is from Mexico. Morgan has never had a problem with saying Zelia but she struggled with Jorge (for you gringos out there-it is pronounced Hor-hey). For the longest time Morgan called him Zelia's dad, then finally she started calling him Hor-head. Yep I said Hor-head! Guess it was so close to forehead that it just fit. When we tried to correct her she would says "Hor-hey doesn't rhyme, Hor-head does!" She now has it down and she only calls him Hor-head to tease.
Due to being in a Spanish/English speaking house Morgan has picked up several Spanish words and I really enjoy hearing her say them because she says them with an accent! I guess some credit also goes to Dora the Explorer...
Before I let Morgan go to my parents for the rest of the week (Yes I went the irresponsible but likable mother route) we talked about what she can say to Rick in Spanish-my brother Rick and my mom are learning Spanish. I hope she doesn't forget because I think Rick will love to practice his Spanish with his four year old blond haired, blue-eyed Spanish-accented beautiful niece!

Too funny...Morgan has such a cute sense of humor. It's amazing how quickly children can pick up on other languages. What a blessing to have her starting to learn so young!
Love it! Have her come over sometime and we can talk. She is so cute and glad to see that you survived the week without the kids!
