Blessings of Bilingual Children

Today, I asked LD what he wanted for lunch after church and he cheerfully responded, "How about....ice cream!" After a politely told him "No" multiple times, he came back with, "How about...helado (Spanish for ice cream)!" How cute! He does this frequently...asks for what he wants in one language and if he doesn't get it, asks in the other!

That is so cool, it is truly a blessing! Does it ever work for him? or does he still get a polite no?

I just live for those little funny moments with kids. That is exactly why I love working with kids. Hilarious things happen every day, and you couldn't dream these moments up!

They are ingenius little creatures, too, huh? And much smarter than we give them credit for, even when we think we know how smart they are. ;)

That is so sweet! Maybe he thought you were confused the first time he asked for it! ;)

Hmmm... my little ones haven't tried that one yet!

We are looking at moving into a school district there in Texas with Spanish Immersion classes so that the children don't lose the language skills they have gained here in Mexico!

Now, all we have to do is find a house...

We send you our love - especially E for K!
