So Long for Now, Cousin Maya




We are all sad around here to say goodbye for another summer to cousin Maya. We would like to thank her for introducing a host of new vocabulary to our lives.

"Popiko!" (Popsicle)

"Picey." (Spicy)

Maya, what are you doing? "Hiding sings." (Stuffing toys into a box.)

"Maya have?" (Walking person to person, begging food off everyone's plate.)

"Two ones." (Two of them.) After Zayde promised her a big towel after her bath: "Big towel one."

After a compliment on her bracelets: "Not bracelets. Bangles."

"These guys coming?" (After spending the day at the zoo with Nana and Zayde, she would like to know if they're getting in the car for more fun.)

Closely related: "Bye, peeps!" (Saying goodbye to Nana and Zayde in the airport after hugs and kisses.)

There are lots more, so if you were around and have ones to add, please share them in the comments. We miss you already, cutie pie.

Who will Sasha admire without her around? Well, there is a visit to cousin Taylor later this week, so maybe he'll be awed once again.

  1. I am crying again (or still)! You have really captured the best of our summer time with Maya for all to read!
