jake says (in spanish)

Lupe is teaching the boys spanish. She shows off for me, pointing to Jake's green pants "What color, Jake?" "Birthday." he answers, beaming. Lupe covers her face with her hands and giggles, "Oh Jacob."

Last weekend, Tucker was calling Gus, "Come here Gus. Gus. Come here, Gus." Gus was oblivious, so finally, in frustration, Tucker called out: "Ven par aca." Then Jacob joined in: "Vampire car, Gus. Vampire car."
