A Guide To Sara's Spanglish

The speech pathologist asked me to write a list of the words and phrases that Sara uses at home.  I had fun jotting down everything she said this weekend.   She has a lot more words that I thought.  Since I already have the list typed out, I thought I'd share it here.

Agua = Water - she uses it for water to drink, a bath, rain, swimming, anything related to water.

Aila for baila which means dance.  She uses it for music and dance.

Amen

A uz for La Luz which means the light.  

Avie for movie

Baby

Caca = poop

We were pretty sure she was saying "Zip It" for a while this summer but I haven't heard that one in a long time.  

There are other things that she will sign or repeat but those are pretty much the ones she uses unprompted.
