everyday one of my kids is bound to make my jaw drop. yesterday it was jazzy. it started right before her third birthday that she surprised us with reciting 1-10 in Spanish ever so perfectly. ever since she has been obbsessd with learning Spanish and teaching jayvin what she learns which is no surprise that he picks up on it just as fast. so Nathan has been teaching her. well yesterday she asks me "mommy where are my sapotos"? i spent ten minutes trying to figure out what the heck a sapoptos is all while she is laughing and teasing me for not knowing what this stupid sapatos is. finally i call Nathan and ask him. while I'm asking him she already knows who I'm asking and lets out a hysterical laugh and says "daddy know what a sapatos it"! he laughs and says it means "shoe" so i ask her if she is asking where her shoe is and she smiles and says "yep, my sapatos is by the door".
its sad that my 3 year old know more Spanish then i do and even more so that they think its funny that they know something that i don't and tease me about it. Nathan just thinks its a riot. i do have to say that it was the highlight of my day and i wont forget that look in her eyes when she realized that she knew something that i did not. it was amazing watching her confidence rise before my eyes!
just thought i would share =)
