Marcos gets a check up

Today little Marcos went to get his monthly checkup with his mother. This included things like height, weight, overall health, etc… Marcos was also asked a series of questions and we would like to share with you his responses.

Nurse: “Marcos, How old are you?”

Marcos: “Dos (two).”

Nurse: “Marcos, What is your mothers name?”

Marcos: “Mamita (little mommy)!”

Nurse: “Ok. But what is her name?”

Marcos: “Da! (this is short for Ermelinda)

Ermelinda: “Ha ha ha.”

Now the nurse is holding up some flash cards with pictures of animals on them.

Nurse: “What is this picture of?” (Holds up a photo of cow)

Marcos: “Vaca!” (In Spanish, vaca is cow.)

Nurse: “What is this picture of?” (A photo of a dog is shown)

Marcos: “Vaco!”

Ermelinda: “Vaco is the name of our dog, so every dog is called Vaco.”

Mother: “Ha ha ha.”

Nurse: “Ok Marcos, what is this picture of?” (Holds up a photo of a monkey)

Marcos: “Herkie!!” (Herkie is our monkey)

Ermelinda: “We have a lot of animals at our house…”

And so the test went. Marcos actually received very high compliments over his checkup. He is a particularly intelligent boy that is learning faster than most, growing tall quickly, and gaining a lot of strength. His mother is doing a wonderful job!
