bella-isms

For a few weeks we have been talking about compound words and the girls get so excited when they think of one.  I have also been teaching the girls their color words in Spanish.  This week at dinner Bella declared with total Bella excitement, "Negro (black) is a compound word."  (She often thinks multiple syllable words are compound words.)  So, we explain ne is not a word.  She says "yes, it is.  You know when you ask me if I want something I say, Neee, I don't want that."
