My Little Multilinguist

I knew the day was coming where Merrick would be smarter than me, but I have to admit I didn't expect it to happen as early as 2 1/2. Well, to give me a little more credit let's make it 2 3/4.

At his new school, they teach the kids Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. Merrick is like a sponge, as all kids are at this age, and just loves learning. Check him out in action below -- showoff! :)

PS - completely unrelated, but literally while I'm typing Merrick is in bed singing himself to sleep. Is it a bad thing when your son is singing Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" to lull himself to bed? Hmm...I promise you I didn't teach him this one!

Anyway, video below --

Red is Rojo:

And a little Mandarin Chinese for you:

Doug wants to know why we aren't at your preschool!

Nice job Merrick. I watched the color video twice because it was so impressive! I'm not sure I could remember all those colors.

I'm in awe! His facial expressions are sooo expressive of his emotions; how I miss him!!!!
