¿Habla usted español?

I never did get around to blogging around when my mother DJ's Nanny came to visit him on Monday.  I'm not going to get too much into because it will put me in a bad mood but she did buy him the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone game for his Gamecube.  He was really excited about and started playing it on Tuesday. 

On Tuesday he had a major meltdown because he was getting frustrated because he couldn't get to Hogwarts, etc, etc.  I calmed him down and told him to play some other games because the Gamecube is supposed to be fun, not put someone in tears.  Last night he started playing the game and I could hear him in my room getting frustrated.  No meltdown...yet frustrated.  I go in and try to head off the meltdown because Lord knows we don't need any more of those. 

I walk in and just stop with my mouth dropped open.  The game is EN ESPANOL!  Oh boy, oh boy.  Why doesn't DJ share this information with me?  All of the words are in spanish, all the voices were spanish speaking.  No wonder DJ was having a rough time with it!  He has enough problems with ENGLISH for crying out loud! 

I say to him:  Baby, did you change the language?

DJ:  No, it's in Spanish Mommy.  Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco.  (Tell me something I don't know.  Yes my 6 year old can count to 5 in spanish.  How cool is that?)

I take the controls from him and save the game.  I took up to Spanish 3 in high school and I can comprehend a bit of spanish.  I found the option for language and switched it to English. 

I must say though I'm pretty amazed at my little guy for going as far as he did just on hearing and reading spanish.

Rebecca - I'm amazed at my little genius:)

Dawn - I walked in and not only were they spanish speaking, they were spanish speaking ADULTS. It was really really strange.
