So today was Halloween at his school. The kids got to dress up and bring treats to share. Last night Ethan and I took suckers and wrapped them in tissues and colored faces on them and made "fantasmas" (ghosts).
Ethan is really loving his school and he's making us laugh in the process. Sunday morning Taylor was making pancakes and Ethan asked for another one. Taylor told him he only had more small ones and Ethan's reply was "oh, chiquito pancakes", literally small pancakes. On the drive home today he was telling me about how they made their own "fantasmas" and glued the "ojos" (eyes) on. It's truly amazing what he's learning just by being immersed. I asked if they'd played any games at their party today and he told me they played "pato, pato, ganso" and explained that you sit in a circle and say pato until you pick someone and say "ganso" and then that person chases after you. Have you figured it out yet? "Pato, pato, ganso" is really "duck, duck, goose". I didn't even know the word for goose. I love that he randomly spouts spanish words and phrases- yesterday declaring that it was cold "hace frio" and telling me on Tuesday that it was "noviendo" (snowing). He's loving it and so are we!

Ethan is so smart and he'll be so grateful to you both for putting him in an environment where he can learn Spanish! btw, Elise was Snow-White this year, just like his teacher. : )
Wow! That is fantastic. That will be a lifelong benefit to him.
