Spanglish

According to the experts, it's actually easier to learn to read in Spanish because the words are easier to decode phonetically. Aliya can read in Spanish and English, but you can see the Spanish influence when she writes...especially in words like "feri". The experts also say that she will eventually learn how to spell fairy correctly in both languages. :-)

P.S. Believe it or not, we found the tooth. I didn't let her double-dip...the tooth fairy left $5 when she saw the note under her pillow.
