Dare day go?

David's English is improving each day. In fact, we were editing our Guatemala trip photos and video footage for the DVD Kyle's creating, and we're both amazed at how much lower his voice is now, how much he's grown, and how we've become official David translators. Here are just a few of the things David now says and does.

• "Doe-nuh" (donut)--Kyle & David enjoy "Man Time" every Saturday morning while eating donuts.  He has also uttered this from the back seat in the car when we drive by our local donut shop.
  
• "Wuk" (work)--Every weekday morning, David says, "Daddy wuk" & "carro" to describe how Daddy went to work in the car. David has started to play "Let's go to Wuk" when we get home. He hops on his tricycle, says, "Bye! Luz you! Wuk!" Then David says, "Bye," to all his favorite things in the house & gets kisses on his "cheeky" (cheek) from Mama & Daddy before he goes to "Wuk."
• "Hoe" (home)--Uttered when we arrive or are close to home; also used by David when he's returning from his pretend "Wuk"
• "Maw-Dee" (Mama & Daddy)--At times, David gets confused (or lazy?) regarding which word to use, especially when he gets excited. He'll sometimes call Kyle "Mama" or me "Daddy," but the other day, he was playing and wanted Kyle to watch him. He began with "Ma..." and changed to "dee" mid-word.
• "Dare day go?" (Where'd they go?)--This is his new favorite game of hiding things in front of us, then asking, "Dare day go?" Kyle and I look under pillows and random things, and David will say, "Noooo," then he'll pull the object out from its hiding place.
• "Dare way is" (There it is.)--used when he's found something he's been looking for
• "Nuh goddit" (I got it.)--David enjoys helping us with whatever task, but sometimes his help isn't exactly helpful, so Kyle and I say, "I got it," and then just have David observe. Apparently, we've said this a great deal, so our little parrot has started uttering this phrase when he wants to assert his independence and desire to help.
• Animal sounds--David officially knows the correct animal sounds for kitty cats, dogs, fish, horses & cows.
