Help!


Of all of my kids, I think Tucker has been the most excited about starting school. He is usually extremely grumpy in the morning. Since school has started, he is happy and excited for the day, so I guess he was just unhappy knowing that the rest of the kids had something fun to do while he stayed home with me. Funny- I'm pretty sure Oliver would LOVE to still stay home with me. Every kid is a little different.

He is attending a "Spanish school" three times a week. We chose this school because two of his best friends will be going there and it is really close to our house. All of the teachers are native speakers and the entire day is taught in Spanish. I didn't really have high hopes of him learning a lot, it just seemed like it would be fun for him to be with his friends and learn a couple of new word. I think I underestimated how quickly kids learn languages. Keep in mind, he has only gone to school three times. On Friday, I was trying to quickly cook dinner. You know how it goes, the kitchen is crazy and everyone is trying to get your attention. I vaguely remember hearing Tucker asking me for something, but I kind of tuned him out in the midst of everyone else talking and hanging out in the kitchen. Suddenly I hear him say, "Could somebody ¡Ayúdeme" I better brush up on my Spanish!!
