Nana and Pop took a trip to Spain in June and (surprise) brought back some presents for Fiona. Among the gifts was a word book in Spanish -- vaca for cow, cordero for lamb, etc. Andrea read the book with Fiona once, but Fiona didn't seem to quite get the point. She'd point at a vaca and ask what it was, Andrea would reply "vaca" and Fiona would say "no, that's a cow." And Andrea would try to explain that a cow in Spanish is vaca.

Well, some of it sank in. A few days later I discovered Fiona reading the book to one of her stuffed animals and pointing out the various words to her toy.

"That's cow in Spanish," she said. "That's lamb in Spanish..."
