so true! It’s hard to see into the future at this point though, but I know I’ll look back and think the same thing 🙂

Thank-you. It was from a modeling photo-shoot. The photographer was nice enough to take a pic of the two of us together and send it to me 🙂

I also thought it was cute when Kyle calls me Maya, but now it’s “Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya… x 100000” and it’s driving me bananas. Mostly cause he only has 7 words, so he just says my name, with no follow-up. Lol I finally got it on video though. I’m sure I’ll look back and just laugh 🙂

She was about 2 at the time. And she still calls me ‘Nancy’ to be cute. (Most of the time it’s ‘mommy’ or ‘mom’). Now that she has discovered the Fancy Nancy series of children’s books, I get called ‘Nancy’ all the time because she thinks the books are about me! I prefer ‘mommy’, but I think it’s cute when she calls me by name. She sounds sooo grown up 😉

Food for thought, thanks! I do read her books in Spanish, I am just not very quick at conversation. You’re right, it’s better than nothing!

No – I’ve read a book that said that you should def. speak to your kid with the few words that you do know, and if at all possible, look some up. It’s probably harder to do it if you don’t know a lot of words, but even if she picks up a word or two here, and it won’t confuse her. You never know! Think of how many kids learn a few spanish words just from Dora!!

What a gift! I am sure he will love it! I wish I could do that for our kids. My understanding of Spanish is good enough to get around with, but I’m afraid I would do her no favors in trying to speak it around the house.

Thanks. We also hope to put him in French immersion school once he’s in grade 1 (mostly since Hebrew isn’t really useful in Canada). Boys sure do love their mommies!!
