Bilingual Fun

Tato is nearing the end of his 3rd session of Bilingual Fun classes. It's been such a joy to see and hear the progress he has made. He's really picked up on the context of the words, which is amazing to me because he's so young and hears English 97% of the time.
* He calls Ruari and Teagan, "chicas." That had us laughing all weekend.
* He sleeps with his Oso (teddy bear), Mono (monkey), y Rana (frog).
* He was playing with is oso and saying "Oso, salta!" (Translation: Bear, jump!)
* When you ask for a "beso" he gives a big kiss.
* He knows quite a few verbs: salta, corre, camina, besame, abrazo, arriba, abajo, vuelta, baila, escucha, busca, aplauda, and possibly others that I'm not aware of yet.
* When he's looking for something, he puts his hand upto his forehead when you/he says, "busca."
* He asks for "pollo" and "agua" at dinner time.
* He says, "hola" and "adios."

Everyone says that kids are sponges at this age and Tato has proven to be no exception to that wonderful rule. Everyday is new and exciting : )
