it's official - - Malachai is now required to speak English in the home (unless, of course, there are Spanish guests here too!) . The law came down hard after one too many of the following:
"Mama, I drank-ado (an English verb conjugated with a perfect-tense Spanish ending) all my milk!"
Malachai: "hey! you have a paintbrush in your back bolsillo!
me: "yeah, I do! but how do you you say bolsillo in english?"
Malachai: "uh, I don't know . . ."
me: "yes you do, it's 'pocket', remember?"
Malachai: "oh yeah . . ."
"look! Josu has eyebrows little!" (adjective after the noun - - Spanish fashion)

i wish i forgot how to say pocket in english....
i am in a spanish book club though. it's fun. we've read three spanish novels so far (the last one took place in barcelona and talked about zaragoza). sometimes i think i may be imagining the whole story that is occuring though since i have such wide gaps in my knowledge of the vocabulary as i read it. still, it's a lot of fun and good practice, and we discuss the book in spanish.
i wanna come to spain.
come to Spain, Kasey, come to Spain!
keep reading and eventually the words will come to you! (well, at least some of them)
How cute. What a blessing to be able to learn 2 languages from birth! Hope you guys are doing well. Congrats on getting pregnant again!
megan, I hear you are making a big move! how fun!
I can see the trouble...Ty still uses "is" for "am" often. "I is cold Mamma. I need to sit on your lap." Can't argue with that! I love seeing these little guys grow up in picture.Thanks!
