A grieving mommy

Lily is doing great! She is speaking more and more English every day. I am amazed at how quickly she has picked it up. In fact, she now chooses to speak English more than Spanish. As a mother, this is grieving my heart. I so want her to be bilingual, but I feel it slipping away. I am still speaking Spanish to her, but I am also painfully aware of my limitations. We recently hired a young girl to come to our home two days a week to speak Spanish with her, but is that really enough? It's like a personal angst. I guess what will be will be, but it still grieves my heart deeply.

In other news...Lily is doing so much better at daycare. She didn't even cry when I dropped her off. That was the first time since we began! She also has been going to bed relatively well and staying in her bed without waking up in the middle of the night.

She continues to be active! I asked Mrs. Helen how she was doing and she said good, but she was one of three little ones who tend to express themselves physically (i.e. hit, bit, push etc).

One of my favorite things is this song she sings...Mary had a little lamb. Except she sings Mary had a little man. So cute!
