Gracie's Bilingual!
Gracie exceeded all expectations yesterday as she spoke her first Spanish word. You didn't know she was so smart now did you?!
Okay, really she repeated her first Spanish word thanks to Dora the Explorer. I was playing one of those online games from Nick Jr. with her where you catch stars. The Dora character would say "estraya." (Okay, I am going to have to look up how you actually spell that...but that was how it sounded) Anyway, after several star catchings, Gracie pointed to a star on the screen for me to catch and said "estraya!" I was proud. The good part is that Gracie knows that they are stars. Actually, "star" was one of her first words.
In other news: I took Gracie to have her pictures done at Penney's today. They came out so well. Gracie was so adorable, in fact, that the photographer asked me if she could order some for the studio to display. They really were the best pictures I have seen.
I really like the pictures to show more than just how Gracie is physically growing. I like to focus on things that she is doing at that time in her life. Like for her first birthday pictures she was standing and walking, so I had them take her picture holding on to a chair. At 18 months she was really into books, so I took her favorites along and they were included in the pictures of her "reading." When she was younger I took her favorite stuffies to be included. So this time, since she is really into pretend, I got the brilliant idea to take a few pieces of her tea set. The photographer set up a make shift table and we got the cutest shots of Gracie having her own tea party! I can't wait to share them with all of you. When we left, Gracie hugged the photographer, and she actually asked me to bring her back for Easter pictures. It was a great day!
