Relaxing.

At the Markets with me, playing a game that we are all relaxing at the beach!!

Buying shoes at the shops!
But I cant stop laughing, she has rubbed the stamp from her nose onto her nose! Now its all red!
And she is there, pround, happy to be trying on shoes and even swaying her hips to Madonna in the shops speakers! (ok I was singing as well).....

It has been very windy here lately!!

027/338

I know I have said this many times before, but I truly love a sleeping child!!!
Asleep she looks so peaceful, so beautiful and like a little angel come to warm my heart!

Until she wakes up and the nagging starts, the tantrums and demands fill the air with noise that I so desperately wish would stop.
I can admit that I do miss living alone and the peace that there was- or great music playing-once I walked into the small units I lived in!

But when she is asleep, I have that peace and my child asleep in her little bed.
Bliss....

This is one of the advantages of having a patient child. I can attend my yoga class and she will sit there quitly, entertaining herslef as she waits for me! A whole hour...

021/344.....The Alphabet of a Bilingual Child!

And the learning has started!!

It sure is a bit tricky to be teaching a Bilingual Child the Alphabet!
I have been telling her the Alphabet in French, and of course we often sing the "ABC" song in English...
But its letter recognition that I find a challenge!
As "A" for "Apple" is not "A" for "Pomme" (apple in French)...So I do then say a French "A" word.
I confuse myself so I think my hesitations and pauses must be confusing to her too!
Why is "A" for apple not "A" for pomme the same word in different languages???

We have been having quite a few "Why oh Why" questions, but not too many challenging ones yet, and I am not looking forward to this why one...

Its tempting to maybe just stick to the Alphabet in one language, but then does that mean that I would not be trying to teach her to read in French? Should I be pointing out from now that French and English are very different?
Or maybe it can be held off a bit until she actually has more understanding of what the Alphabet actually means....
I am about to face another challenge in what it takes to raise a Bilingual child!!!

What have you done?
What has worked for you?
Any advise for me?
