rhyme time

We had another fun weekend in Morris with the primas. Domingo continues to be enamored of them, he calls them "my pweemas" or sometimes he says my cousins. He is so thoroughly bilingual now it's funny. He has some weird speech impediments though. He doesn't say r's or l's in English, but has no problem with them in Spanish. He can say libros or lechugas or libelula in Spanish with out a problem at all. But ask him to say lizard or lion or leopard and he says wizard, wion and weopard. The other thing he has started recently is a little bit of a stutter. There is a lot of and a and a and a that goes on over here. I have a feeling that's partly because he's deciding which language to speak, and then his mouth just doesn't work as fast as his brain.
Today he was showing off his funny brain with the girls. They were playing a rhyme game with Chris. They were making up "poems" and saying rhyming words. Domi spent our entire lunch saying words that rhymed with his various lunch items. Rice rhymes with ice, hot rhymes with pot, and apparently porridge rhymes with orange. So much for that old saying that nothing rhymes with orange!
No pictures this time, but I'll get around to posting some more soon.
