Clase de Espanol

July 22 - Tonight Mateo's Bilingual Fun Class was full of wonderful surprises. When it was time to put the toys away, he stood up and helped put them away. So cute. When we said "adios" to the toys, he proudly shouted, "bye-bye!" and waved. OMG! He knows that "adios" means "bye-bye?" When I told him "sientete" he sat down - every time! When we were doing an exercise with colors, Senora Jennifer asked him what color he had in his hand and he loudly and proundly announced, "VERDE!" Her eyes just popped out of her head with astonishment. I was totally speechless and quite the proud Mama. I'm beyond thrilled with how well and how quickly he's picking up Spanish. After class Senora Jennifer commended him for doing so well this evening. In the words of Mateo, Ooh, Wowwww! (Sorry that the tildes and accents are missing.) At home when we ask him "quieres mas?" he uses sign language for "more." Muy bien Tato.
