AGUA

Hola Lili,

Today you added another Spanish word to your vocab – Agua. You, Dad and I were sitting eating lunch and you pointed to your water bottle and said ‘agua’. It was so clear and crisp that I was shocked as I always am and said, “Lili…did you just say agua?” Then you smiled and turned to Dad and then turned back to your water bottle and proceeded to say Agua and then we clapped and cheered and then you said Agua and then we clapped and cheered and so on and so on.

My mother once told me I said agua at the age of 5 or so. We were in a greenhouse and I had wandered off somewhere beyond her watchful eye. All of the sudden the sprinkler system turned on in the greenhouse and my mother and the person working there found me in the middle of the mess. I had turned the crank on and was standing there yelling the latest word I had learned on Sesame Street – AGUA AGUA AGUA.

I’m glad our experience was in the privacy of our own home. Less mess.
