After exhausting lizard hunting yesterday (see post below), Averi sat down to play her new video game that I had purchased earlier from Wal Mart. I cannot stand the Bratz dolls but this game was on clearance and it was dress up and learning numbers so I thought Averi would love it. She did. She played it for about an hour and I was amazed at what she was learning and how much she enjoyed the game I got for such a great deal! Later that night, I was cleaning up and was about to throw away the box when I noticed.......IT IS IN SPANISH!! I went in to Averi's room and asked her if she couldn't understand the game and why didn't she tell me?Averi said "yeah mom it is in Spanish and at first I didn't really understand it but then I did and sometimes we get things that we don't understand so we can learn."
Wow, that sounded pretty good and even made me think for a minute that I was a good mom for promoting her cultural side. I asked her if she would like to go take it back and get one that is in English.
Averi said "well, we can go get a new game in English but can I keep my favorite game in Spanish?"
What is a mother to do?
PS I told Adam this story and he said "sweet!"

That is really funny, but I bet she'll be even better at spanish by the time she plays it for awhile. Grandma Udy would be proud, and so are we. Good Job Averi!
