Bilingual Boy

Ethan really likes preschool and I can tell he is learning a lot of neat things covering all kinds of topics. At first I was a little nervous about this preschool but now I love it. I think it's way better than last year's preschool and so does Ethan. His current teacher won teacher of the year two years ago and is so good with the kids. Ethan has come home and will randomly talk about rules, respect for yourself and others, planets (Mars, Earth), and different patterns. He also loves to sing the various songs from school, including a song about the days of the week, a hello song in Spanish, and a bear hunt song that he acts out. I have definitely seen a shift in his maturity since school has started. He really thrives on it and I'm so pleased to see this. Tonight while tucking Ethan in bed he started to sing the spanish hello song (which goes to the tune of the "Thumpkin" song): "Buenos dias, buenos dias, como estas?" Once he finished the song in spanish he said, "Now let's sing it in Farsi!" Jared and I just looked at each other and cracked up - we are truly amazed at what he is learning in school. And it was a definite sign that we live in Los Angeles. Hilarious.
