So, Jaysen came home from school last week and said, "Let's count to diez!" I said, "count to what?" And he said, "Diez! Ready....Uno, dos, tres . . . diez! Yay Jaysen....great job!" That's my kid....counting in Spanish AND applauding himself! Of course I thought he was only able to count in rote, so I was going to try and trick him. So I said, "ok Jaysen, what is eight?" And without even skipping a beat, he said, "ocho!" So I said, "what about four?" And he said, "cuatro!" So since that didn't work, I thought I would take it a step further. I put 3 cookies in my hand and asked him how many cookies there were. Without even counting, Jaysen said, "tres." And then he did it again with seven....without even counting, looked at the group of cookies and said, "siete!" Crazy I know.....that kid never ceases to amaze me! And he even showed us later in the week that he knows most of his colors and shapes in Spanish too.....and a few phrases, such as adios!! So our little sponge is absolutely soaking up everything he is learning at school. But I'm getting a little concerned what they are going to teach him in Kindergarten....in 3 years! In the meantime....enjoy the video!!

I remember Ashleigh learning to count and talk in Spanish from daycare. Quite amazing! Check out my blog for info on Kindergarten. I don't think he will be bored. Call or e-mail me sometime.

Jacob was big on Spanish, too. Adam's just starting it (they have Spanish class in preschool!?!) and when I asked him if he liked his Spanish class, he said, "You mean like 'hola amigos?'" :-)
