Wow, interesting experience this afternoon - I was alone with Laniña; she was looking out the window and I was dictating notes into my mp3 player about an idea I had for another blog entry. Suddenly she began to shout at me, with great anger, "NO, PAPÁ STOP IT! STOP IT!"
I couldn´t really figure out what the problem was, until I began dictating again, only this time in Spanish - she suddenly calmed down.
This seemed bizarre at first, since she hears me speaking English all the time with her mother; but of course that´s what the problem was - her mother wasn´t there, Laniña thought I was speaking to her in English and it really freaked her out!
That´s probably good, right?

¡Hola! I am writing as Rocinante (not my real name - I'm shy!) and my daughter is Laniña - also not her real name! She's four now. I speak to her in Spanish, even though that´s not my own first language. We are just seeing how it goes, and that´s what this blog is about. Hope you find it interesting and encouraging if you are in a similar situation, or considering trying it out.
