Tap & Roll

We had Spanish class today. One of the main points our tutor- Roy- gave, was that pronunciation is more important than speed. I know Jack D. and others have told us this also, as well. So we worked mostly on pronouncing the alphabet. It was very helpful to work on just pronouncing the sounds.
I also realized how incompetent I am with the R sounds. I had trouble as a kid w/ my englsish R sounds- they came out like w's. I used to pronounce my favorite baseball player's name (Rod Carew) as Wod Kuh Woo. But the spanish R sounds(there are 2- the tap and the roll) are different. And I can't seem to get either of them. So our homework before Thursday is to practice trying to tap and roll the R sounds. I wish we had more than 2 language "classes", but hopefully we can get a little tutoring in Shell.

Luke and the Potty - When Jodie came home at lunch today, Bonni (our sitter) said "You didn't tell me that Luke was potty trained." Seems that he was in the bathroom tugging at his shorts and pointing at the toilet. So she sat Luke on the seat and he went. He did it again later today with me helping him. (He actually went in the potty once last week, but not at his own prompting to attempt). I guess he's been watching and learning from his brothers and sister. We'll see how many months/years until our family's done w/ diapers. We've been using them now everyday for the last 7 years, 7 months and 7 days (I didn't realize the numbers until I was just now figuring out the dates since Shea was born).
