ChildrenofChorizo: October 2010
http://childrenofchorizo.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 25 October 2010. Does Leyla say any words? Is a common question I'm encountering from friends and family, almost, I hate to admit, daily. Each time I'm asked this, I doubt my decision to raise my children bilingually more and more. One person even went so far as to imply that if I had only been speaking English to Leyla for the passed 16 months she would be saying more at this point! Probably because Emily has no interest in singing "Brilla, Brilla, Estrelllita" (Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star), n...

ChildrenofChorizo: En el café
http://childrenofchorizo.blogspot.com/2010/10/en-el-cafe.html
Sunday, 24 October 2010. In my desperate attempt to get out of the house this morning after being on house arrest for three days due to Leyla’s illness, we meandered across the street to Sainsburys, one of our local supermarket. Before buying the one very important item we went to Sainsbury’s for, I decided to go to the “café”. In Sainsbury’s to fill up on caffeine and cake. While munching and laughing, here is the vocabulary that Leyla and I used during our little outing:. La Magdalena (the muffin).

ChildrenofChorizo: Aliens No More!
http://childrenofchorizo.blogspot.com/2010/11/aliens-no-more.html
Saturday, 6 November 2010. I'm proud to announce that Emily and I are now PERMANENT residents of the UK (That's us with our visas in the photo). I'm blogging about it b/c I want the world to know! It has been a gruelling process, I must admit. My husband and I are both very relieved it's over. We are truly a multicultural family! One wouldn't think there would be that many, if any, cultural differences between an American and a Brit but believe me there are (including language)! 1 January 2011 at 11:08.

ChildrenofChorizo: Summer Holiday
http://childrenofchorizo.blogspot.com/2010/10/summer-holiday.html
Thursday, 14 October 2010. October is upon us, summer has come and gone, our trip to America has become a distant memory and I can't believe this is my first blog in two months! Welcome to my new (and hopefully improved) blog (thank you Emily for the name) where I'm 110% dedicated to blogging about raising my two beautiful girls bilingually, as a non-native speaker of Spanish (almost forgot to mention that). However, what did emerge were the following sentences constructed by Emily, in Spanish:. Emery ca...
