    Mr W has not seen his "Spanish Grandma" for several months and we have not spoken much to him. Tonight she was over and they were all atwitter with each other. We have number of rituals we do with him in the evening and he was doing them with her in Spanish.

    It IS pretty amazing how he can shift back and forth.

    Awww... thanks for sharing that Austin. It still amazes me how quickly they can jump between the languages. In the past month DD has forged ahead. She is now speaking to her teachers in Spanish and is willing to do basic Spanish for us at home, such as count to twenty and manners (Thank you, Please, etc).
