Oh man!

Her new favorite phrase, cracks me up when she uses it. Seriously I just start laughing every time she says it..
we can thank Dora the Explorer for that wonderful phrase, it's used in the video quite frequently. For those of you
not in the know, (Innocent people living their lives blissfully unaware of the horror that is out there) is how Beckie
would describe you...she is no longer innocent, ruined she has muttered a time or two. Apparently the
backpack song playing over and over in her head is equal to torture in some countries. Totally getting off my original
post but simply have to share this, I took my older kids along with a couple of their friends out to eat Friday night,
as we are waiting for our food to arrive they begin discussing Dora, and Yahaira's obsession with it. Much to my
amazement they knew a lot about these video's...(ok so they have had to watch a few,(many) during this x-mas
break), but hey for the sake of calm one has to do these things at times. Totally made me laugh listening to their
discussion of Dora, and all the horrors she has evoked in their lives these past few weeks. Poor things,
for having to endure such torture, they certainly learned a lot. But as I started to say Dora is a cartoon
character on Nick Jr..that incorporates spanish and games in a learning enviroment, gee sound like a
commercial don't I? and Yahaira simply loves her. The pic above is in no way related to Dora or Yahaira's
favorite new phrase, that is just simply her latest version of throwing a tantrum, arms crossed, sitting with her back to you,
lips in a pout, it's classic actually, and maddening to no end to her that I am completely unimpressed by her efforts...
she used to throw herself on the floor crying and screaming...thinking that had to hurt so she has refocused her efforts in a
a new manner, have to give her points for trying. Completely makes me laugh when she does this...of
course that just insults her further, love that when she is doing this I can lean over and try to get her to look at me
and as she turns her back, (she is mad at me you understand, I am so very dificult you know) I can say "hey yahaira?....Oh man!"
and she instantly becomes a puddle of giggles in my arms. Love this kid!
