A few days ago my mother and Dane were sitting at our kitchen table eating lunch as I lounged on the living room floor in front of them engrossed in the Olympics. My mom asked Dane, "do you know how to say water in Spanish?"
Dane's answer was a very confident, "YES!" I perked up a bit because both my mother and I were pleasantly surprised that he was beginning to understand the language connection.
"Dane, let Grandma hear how you say it."
"Water in Spanish." Although we both fully expected to hear agua, I had to give the kid credit for his very deliberate articulation of the phrase. Not a prodigy yet I guess, but good for several belly laughs the rest of the day when we got out of him "horse in Spanish," "dinosaur in Spanish,"........you get the idea.
