Spanish update

ok....since my Boca Beth discovery I have been concentrating on working with Alex in Spanish. It has been done slowly but he now says these words in Spanish:
Milk-leche
Water-agua
Apple Juice-jugo de manzana
more-más
1-10
and he knows what: ¿Qué quieres? (what do you want?) means.

So at least he will not die of thirst in a Spanish country :)

Ok... I have been a HUGE slacker about speaking Spanish with Alex :( However, at times, I do redirect him in Spanish (Ven aqui, no toques, sube las escaleras) and count but I am afraid Diego and Dora do a better job :(

So with my extra time with Alex, I decided to research ways/ideas/websites to help me and my son speak Spanish together. As a former HS spanish teacher, working with a 2 year old is a tad different in certain levels.

In my research/Internet wanderings, I found this website: http://bocabeth.net/ with a free giveaway, great products and ideas. Maybe you should check it out too ;)

Tonight Alex said and understood a new Spanish word: ojos (eyes). We were reading a book and as he said the English, I would say the Spanish. He pointed to his eyes and said "ojos" and I asked "donde estan los ojos de Mommy? (where are Mommy's eyes?)". He then pointed/touched my eyes and said "ojos". A proud and delightful moment :)

(side note...his other Spanish words are: Abuela, Abuelo, and Sube (Go up!))
