In the summers, our parents used to send us to Merida to visit our grandparents. One of the joys of the trips for, aside from visiting our grandparents, was to read comic books. Sure, they were in Spanish, but it helped me learn to read in Spanish. Heck, I scored a 4 on the AP Spanish test without taking a single Spanish class, so comic books can be educational. 
Enough of my woolgathering because this is a blog about Nicholas, not learning to read in a foreign language. Some of those comic books were called "Sal y Pimienta" aka "Sugar and Spike". They told the adventures of two little babies who spoke in "baby talk". If you look at the cover on the right, I'd say our Nicholas has quite a striking resemblance to our hero, Spike. In fact, I'm sure that one day we'll see jam on the walls much like we see on the cover.
