Spanish Juggling
Posted by Dr. Mom Online in Kids Say the Darndest Things! on July 12, 2008Since our daughter has had a couple years of Spanish classes in school, her younger brother has placed her on the pedestal of being our resident Spanish expert… a title she wears quite proudly, as she yields her dominating Spanish power over her little brother!
He can quite often be overheard asking his big sister, “What’s the Spanish word for….. (whatever is on his 3 year old mind)?”
Tonight at the dinner table, he was sitting across from his sister. He picked up two of his grape tomatoes from his plate, one in each hand. I watched him start to rhythmically alternate his hands up and down, palm sides up. I wasn’t totally sure what he was doing, but I had an idea of what he was mimicking…
Then he asked his sister, “Is this how you juggle in Spanish?”
