Break's Happen, so does reading

I know I've written about this before, but it's worth emphasizing again, when Language Stars takes a break there are many ways to keep your child practicing during the break.  We just completed Spring Break and in Leilani's case she got an extra long one.   You see Leili's father is occasionally absent minded, and may have mixed up the day she didn't have class.  So she missed a day they did have class, and I took her on a day they didn't.

No I did not leave my daughter in an empty Language Stars.  How could I do such a thing?  The door was locked!

Okay I screwed up, so we've had to up our home practice a bit.  Fortunately my daughter has suddenly decided it's okay for me to read to her in Spanish again.  What have I been reading her?

Not this one.  It's worth a lot of money.

She tracked down some extremely old pop-up picture books with Spider-Man, the Hulk, Popeye and others, all in Spanish.  Why is this important?  Well with the combination of some Spanish, pictures, and of course nerd power I'm able to translate.  I don't of course, but occasionally my daughter will ask what's going on.  These books sometimes have phrases she wouldn't know in English.  Meanwhile I've learned some new Spanish:

Espinacas - Spinach
El Hombre Increible - The Incredible Hulk
Brutus - Bluto

So if I'm ever lost in a Spanish speaking country and have to fight The Incredible Hulk and Bluto, I'll just call out for "espanicas" and everything should be fine.
