Here is a picture of Jack and his best school friend, Magnus. They were at Magnus' brother's birthday party (Thaddeus is in Amelia's class), and it was a pirtate theme. They have such fun together. Jack came home the other day and said "Magnus said, 'Nein.' " (They are German.) And I asked him if he knew what that meant, and he said "It means 'No.' " It's very impressive that he can pick up a little German, Amelia is learning a little Polish, and all the while, trying to understand French.
The kids went to a swim class at the club yesterday, and unfortunately, it was only in French, and the teacher spoke no English. But luckily, everyone communicated OK. I think they enjoyed it well enough, but Amelia told me that tennis is her favorite...
And below has to be one of my favorite pictures from Amelia lately. We've been VERY into the Beverly Hills Chihuahua theme song -- I've downloaded it to the iPod and we listen to the following songs over and over: "Pocketful of Sunshine" (Natasha Bedingfield), "Boom-Shaka-Lak" (Apache Indian), "Every Time We Touch" (Not sure who sings it), and "Chihuahua" (DJ bobo). Unfortunately, the movie isn't going to be released here until April of next year, apparently.
But anyway, they love the song, and Amelia came home with this. The words are in a little funky order, but it reads "What can make you move -- Chihuahua." (I'm sure her teachers wondered why she was asking how to spell Chihuahua.) And if you notice, you can barely make out that the kids are being taught cursive first, instead of printing. I wonder if they even teach cursive anymore in the U.S.?
And one more picture of Amelia's favorite subect: zebras.
