Little (bilingual) Chatterbox

My little man is getting so big!

Always smiling!


Playing with Daddy
Jack's new words are constantly improving with regard to clarity and quantity. He learns new words like crazy and almost daily we hear him mastering new skills. He can now carry on a conversation that would make my Spanish 1 students jealous! Just today:
Mommy: Jack, como te llamas?
Jack: Gack.
Mommy: Jack what?
Jack: Soto
Mommy: Como estas?
Jack: Bien.
Mommy: Y cuantos anos tienes?
Jack: Un ano!
He has also gotten so much more clear with "I love you" and is now saying each word, and saying them at appropriate times. In addition, he has finally figured out "Thank you." He has been saying it for quite awhile but always says it when he is handing you something. Today, he started saying "thank you" whenever we gave him something that he wanted. He sweetly looked us in the eye and said it. When we would say "You're welcome," he would smile and say "welcome!" So I guess we have that one to work on!
He's also getting better at combining words. He's saying, "Go, Mommy", "Yummy apple", "nice doggie" among others. We also taught him the following just today:
Mommy: Jack, are you smart?
Jack: Ein Geen--is (I'm a genius.)
We're still working on the pronounciation of that one!
