Amy's first birthday

[pne]

It's Amy's first birthday today! (Okay, so super-technically it won't be until 11:36 tonight, but who cares about that.)

Stella's parents came over for dinner and stayed until five; my father and his wife, as well as my oldest sister and her two children came over around three-ish and so they were all there for afternoon cake. My family stayed until about half-past six.

Amy got quite a few presents (including one from Taya, who had moved in opposite just last weekend, though they'd known each other earlier, and one from the little boy she plays in the sand pit with). She also got to see her cousins again, though I'm not sure how much she actually realised that.

I was glad to hear Emily speaking some English! She's nearly three now and they're trying to raise her trilingually (English, German, and Spanish—my brother-in-law is from Peru).

And I need a new "Amy" icon :) I've kind of decided which picture I might crop, now I just need to get that done… sometime. One Of These Days™.

And I think it's fabulous you're raising her trilingually!

That's Emily, Amy's cousin. I'll be glad if Amy grows up bilingually, since I'm responsible for the "foreign" language and she doesn't have as much exposure to me as she does to Stella.

Emily has the advantage that her mother is talking to her in English.

But we'll see how things work out!

That has to be one of the most amazing gifts parents can give a child- I wish I had that opportunity as a child

*nods* I'm very glad I had that opportunity, and I also think it's something good to give a child.

Oops, re-reads properly second time around. I must have skipped the word 'Emily' although it did cross my mind to wonder why you had picked spanish just cause your brother in law was from Peru. :)

Still vote for the so many languages you can speak, your daughter should be able to speak at least some of all of them! :P
