Bay-bah! & Head and shoulders...
Sep. 20th, 2003 03:46 pmGenoux et pieds, genoux et pieds.
Between the Wiggles & our French CD, this has become Kieran's favorite song and he's started signaling for us to sing it by smacking his head with both hands and giggling. I'm slightly concerned about him mixing up words between the two languages as the French version isn't toes but feet, then the eyes & ears & mouth & nose part goes 'two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two ears' but pointing should help clarify that. I am not one of those ubermoms who expects a kid to be perfectly fluent in a foreign language by age two, but early language exposure = little chance of speaking with an accent later. Of course knowing my luck he'll want to speak Spanish. I can't help him there because despite native Californian roots, my knowledge of that language is from Sesame Street.
We're also immensely proud of the fact that Kieran went from a nondescript bababababa to a distinct Bay-bah! last night while watching the game. More than made up for the fact that my team lost and is set to do so again right now, but I still have faith that all will end up as it should. We've very excited about going to the game next Sunday, our first as a family since Kieran was born although we've been twice before I knew (for certain) that I was pregnant. I can hardly wait to get a picture of Kieran standing near the personalized brick I bought for Ryan as a Christmas present so long ago.
