Ana Is Not Bilingual

I have been relying a little too heavily on Dora these past days leading up to the start of preschool. The freakishly large headed cartoon girl teaches planning, friendship, and map skills. At least that's how I justify using Dora to take a nap.

As a result of our Dora dates, Ana has become very interested in Spanish. She loves to ask about words and try them out herself. Great when I am involved in the translation process, less so when I have no clue what is going on.

Ana, what shirt do you want to wear?

Kaleekeekana.

What?

Kaleekeekana.

What is that?

I'm telling you in Spanish what shirt I want to wear. Kaleekeekana.

Can we try English?

No. That means no in Spanish.
