Aidyn is very interested in languages and always has been. Her Daddy speaks to her (and teaches her to speak) Afrikaans. Recently since she's been able to read she goes to the set-up menu of her DVDs all on her own and turns them on Spanish or French to watch the movie that way. And then she watches it as if nothing is strange or different!!
We found a school near our house that does a dual-language immersion program for Spanish and English and thought this may be a good way of keeping her with her peers but still providing her a challenge in school (for those of you who don't know, Aidyn's IQ testing is complete and she is definitely above average...the psychologist recommended keeping her with her age group, though). So, we sat with Aidyn and asked her opinion on school that will be 90% in Spanish this fall and she was very excited. Then she asked, "And when can I learn that French one too so I can watch Toy Story 3 in French!?"
