Our house is a very multilingual place at the moment. Spanish and Mandarin Chinese can be heard at just about anytime from any child; and I am pretty sure KB speaks her own language half the time.
The Spanish is thanks to Bubba’s class at Kirk Day School and a little Diego and Dora mixed in (KB counts to 10 over and over). This is Bub’s singing a different version of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”:
The Chinese comes compliments of Ni-Hao, Kai Lan! The kids love this show and I love that they are learning pretty decent lessons on life and learning a bit of Chinese in the process. KB has a real ear for it. Little has a surprisingly good memory of it.
The two girls disappeared for awhile last night and I hear chatting and giggling coming from KB’s room. Little emerged with this piece of work. . . the names of the characters on Ni-Hao, Kai Lan. She used English phonics so I am not sure how correctly things are spelled, but LOOK AT THAT PENMANSHIP!!


That was fun I want more! The very last comment from KB was classic…”I know a Chick-fil-a song.” They are your children.
This post made me cry.
i want to hear the song about chick-fil-a!
