Latin

We've been teaching Brendan Latin in school. No, we don't speak it ourselves, we've found a great program, Prima Latina from Memoria Press, that he (and Michael and I) are learning from quite well. But I didn't realize just how much the younger children were picking up until yesterday when Nicklas began to insist on calling his water bottle an aqua bottle. At supper Brendan was talking about one of his vocab words, amici, which means "friends". He was wondering how to say "my friends" and said "Oh, mea!" At which, Nicklas replied with "culpa." As in one of Brendan's recent vocab words, mea culpa, which means "my fault."
