This week Anna told me that she didn't like me... that's an attention getter for you. What horrible thing was I doing to her??? Speaking to her in French.
Last week we had a French tutor start improving my bad French and start working with Anna to lay a good foundation (note again, my bad french) for a second language. After one day of my post-tutor practice with her, she looked at me and said, "I don't like you mommy." I know what she really meant is why are you confusing me? I like to understand what you are saying. I'm 2 1/2 years old, and I've just got this whole English thing down; and NOW you are sending me back to a place where I have to decipher speech, again?!?!
Well, after a week of practice, we've made progress. Anna now doesn't pout when I read in french to her and she will even now repeat some words back to me. The biggest achievement was yesterday when I asked her what yellow was en français, and she said 'jaune' (which is right... yeah!). Lots of work in front of us, but we are going to be singing and playing our way into another language for Anna and hopefully Sam someday too (we'll give him some time).
Au revoir, mes amis.
