A Bilingual Daughter

We've been working with Crystal's language skills by speaking to her in both spanish and english in hopes that she'll grow up speaking both languages. Lisas parents have helped us work with her by speaking to her in spanish as well. In this video clip Lisa is asking her where several body parts are located and she identifies them. Sometimes instead of pointing to it she'll just move the body part, for example when we ask her where the light is, she looks up. When we ask her where her teeth are she opens and closes her mouth, and when we ask her where her bellybutton is, she tugs at her clothes (to indicate that it's underneath her clothes). For those of you who don't speak or understand spanish we added subtitles to the video to help you enjoy it a little more. Push play and see for yourself.
