Sofia's language ability is really interesting lately. Her sentences are becoming more complex, and she is describing things more and more. One thing that caught my attention the other day was that not only is she asking me what words mean, but she is asking about idiomatic expressions. The one she asked about was "turning over a new leaf." She asked what the entire phrase means. She knows what "turning" and "over" and "new" and "leaf" mean as individual words, but the fact that she knew that those words belonged together and that they did not mean the literal idea of turning a leaf over just surprised me!
She has also learned to roll her r's, and does it any chance she gets!
She is still babbling in her "Spanish", but when I see the teacher ask her to do something in Spanish, she always does what she's asked, so I know she understands.
She still loves to tell me that something is in German or in Spanish. She watches Cinderella on youtube, and always seems to find the Spanish or Polish or even Dutch versions, and loves them all equally!
