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 :)

No pictures... but...

a quick update. Since February 13th, I have noticed 2 2 year molars in Alex's mouth. The top right and bottom left (how weird!).

Alex's vocabulary has been exponentially growing. He is a little parrot with a memory like a steel trap. For instance... he caught me saying "shit" when I dropped the phone behind the desk and said it back twice with match ferocity. I am a bad mother....sigh

His other "great" new interests are cleaning and mixing. Everytime I step into the kitchen, Alex demands that we mix something. Plus everytime something spills on the ground, he demands we get the vacuum. (However, he has learned that I will not get the vacuum for 2 Cherrios!). He has even taken to making messes, just to demand the vacuum. His goal is to make his great Magnee proud.

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!))
