As some of you have heard, Jaden has been on a pirate kick lately. A recent experience involved him, a woman at the grocery store with an eye patch, and an innocent comment delivered with pure joy and excitement that went something like...."YOU A PIRATE!".
While we were doing the bedtime thing yesterday, Jaden said that he wanted to hunt for pirate treasure. New to this game, I asked him where we were going to get pirate treasure. Matter of factly, he informed me that we would get it at the Pirate Treasure Store.
This morning Jaden began practicing his introductions (I'm Jaden with a peg leg or I'm Jaden with a hook for a hand or I'm Jaden with a wooden ear) never failing to end his pronouncements with a hearty "Arrrr!". After he'd finally mastered this excercise he turned to me and asked "How do you say Arrrr in Spanish?".
I'm stumped......any ideas?

I think it's more of pronunciation issue.
English: "Arrrrrr"
Spaish: "Allllll"
No? I think you could fake it.
Tell him all you have to do in spanish is put an "o" at the end of everything.
ex: Pirate-o
Arrrr-o
Dad-o
Mom-o
Congratualtions, your child is now bilingual.
I don't know the answer, but I bet Betty does...I've heard she speaks pirate fluently and can probably talk to some of her bilingual Pirate friends that are also familiar with espanol....
