A Dutch-Spanish conversation.

At the table, Amelia eating with a fork (3 1/2 years old).

Me: “Moet je een lepel hebben Amelia?” (Do you want a spoon?)

Ame: “Que?”

Me: “Een lepel?”

Ame: “No estoy bien con este tenedor.”

She really understands me when I speak Dutch to her (and responds in Spanish). That’s encouraging.
