Hola!

Jamie speaks almost completely non-stop at this point. He also frequently seems not to hear anything we say (e.g. Jamie, please don't dump that water on the floor!). We are actually quite used to this for the most part, but the other day, particularly frustrated with this state of affairs, Sarah began speaking to him in French. This had absolutely no discernible effect on the boy, lending credence to the notion that, in fact, he really isn't listening, or just doesn't care what we say. Not long after, when Jamie again ignored a direct request from Sarah she said, a little desperately, "Maybe you really do speak another language!" He turned, smiled, and said with real gusto, "HOLA!!!"
