I'm busy making the kits for the class I'm teaching at the end of next week. Do you see my beautiful distraction in the background? He had a bowl of fruit and picked up each piece saying "Que es eso?" After I told him, he'd say, in English, "I like watermelon" or "I like pineapple". Isn't he just a doll? He's telling me just what I want to hear.
"Que es eso?" just happens to be his current favorite question. He's collecting English words for everything and practicing using them all the time.
He's also singing lots of songs. I can't believe how many lyrics he can remember. It's amazing.
Oh, and guess what showed up this week on our doorstop...
the salamander!
We haven't seen him since just before Alfredo left last September. And this time he has a lady friend. I think we interupted some special couple time. Just after we shot this photo, Mr. Salamander charged at us. Yikes.
Now every afternoon we go to the door regularly for Salamander checks. Today yes. Yesterday no.

Aww.. the salamander came to see him and smile. Cute. I can feel the joy and I am thankful for you. Great kits! Blessings Amy
I stumbled onto your blog,and had a lot of fun reading older posts, and stories about Alfredo. What a sweet little boy. I hope you have the best time with him.
I really enjoyed a post you did on embroidering in the small squares. How big is the sampler you are doing?
It is such a cute idea.
I love reading your blog and getting to know Alfredo! Thank you for sharing your heart!
Amy,
Your description of how Alfredo is storing up words to use is just perfect! He is going to pick up language so fast you won't be able to keep track. The trinkets you are working on for your class are adorable. Those ladies are in store for a real treat!

Congratulations on having Alfredo!
The kits look fantastic!
Please share more about your sweet boy. My kids are 18 and 21 and I love hearing about Alfredo. What a cutie and soo bright.
Isn't that a wonderful age? My little one sings too, and the amount of lyrics she knows always shocks me. Its just a glimpse of how much goes on in those sweet little heads, even though they still aren't skilled conversationalists, they know what is going on!
It's so nice to see you so happy, surrounded by your loves! Kelly
Oh my goodness! I just happened upon your blog and I just adore it! The mix of creativity and family is just so capturing! Thanks for sharing =)I can't wait to see what happens from here on out...your new friend, alicia
I love that photo with Alfredo looking at the kit prep. Very cute.
Cannot wait to see him in person soon!
He is so handsome and bright as a penny - but Dear Amy, you are absolutely glowing! xoxo the fan

Amy, I haven't been checking your blog lately so I just read the news about co-parenting Alfredo. How wonderful for you. He's such a lucky little man to be surrounded with so much love. Best of luck to your expanded family.
That is so sweet that he is learning the language through music. :) What a cutie!!!!
