Nora at the fruit stall holding two peaches
Primera vez Getxo · 11 JULY 2026
Nora's first whole sentence in Spanish
«quiero dos melocotones, por favor»
— Nora, to the fruit man
We were at the Saturday market, not paying much attention, when Nora stepped up to the fruit stall entirely on her own and delivered a full, grammatical, unprompted sentence in Spanish.
The fruit man beamed, bagged the peaches with great ceremony, and told her they were a regalo. She has been insufferable — and wonderful — about it ever since.
