Suddenly Spanish

Lani is a very big Dora fan. She adores Dora, you know when it's on as she suddenly stops and goes very quiet.
Over the past few days she has started saying 'Abbiba abbiba' instead of up. She came to me and said;
Abbiba abbiba
Pardon?
UP! (with a face that said - idiot!)

She also went round the flat said 'Mochila? whe are do?' (Backpack)

Today she came to me and said;
una,dos, res,cinqo, seys,
Oh one two three four five?
one do ee

So she can count higher in Spanish than in English? I know she also missed 4 in Spanish; but quatro is hard to say.
She also recognises the numbers 1,2,3 now she points them out on things like the clock and Thomas trains. Gosh she loves those Thomas trains.
One more thing i noticed, she is so much more happy to look at a adult book that a baby book. She loves looking at all the words on the page rather than the pictures in a toddler book.

Hah! too funny on the counting! Lorena counts JUST like that, uno, dos, tres, cinco, seis: skipoing 4 always. Oh, and she is almost 3 1/3.

Hehe, so cute! I think Lani likes the sound of it, Spanish seems alot more musical/flowing than English.
