La Fiesta
Día Siete of our Segundo Cumpleaños Preparación: La Fiesta!So all of our intricate work and obsessive planning paid off and looked like this:
The Goodie Bag Table for our invitados.
The gift table.
Dining room decorations view 1.
Dining room decorations view 2.
Home-made Red Velvet Torta! Yum! Yum! Deli!
Feliz Cumpleanos sign for the bathroom door...I'm very proud of all the signs being in Espanol!
Buffet station view 1.
Buffet station view 2. (My husband doesn't allow me to decorate the food station! :(
There was SOMEONE else who enjoyed the decorations as much as I did!
Singing Happy Birthday to Sofia!
Sofía had a LOT of fun with her friends and family. She really understood that it was her birthday and what that meant. She learned how to sing “Happy Birthday” and simulate the blowing out of the candles. (She doesn’t like the lit candles so much.) She also learned to answer questions about her age. Before her birthday, we asked her “¿Cuántos vas a cumplir?” (How old will be you be?) and now we ask, “Cuántos años tienes?” (How old are you?) and she knows how to answer: DOS! Looking back on all the neurosis that went into planning the party….I’m segurisima that we will do it all again next year! If you missed the fiesta...at least you can relive the Singing of "Happy Bitday", as Sofía likes to call it!
I’m a career switcher. For over 19 years I worked in the area of language education and after having my first child, Sofía, I decided that instead of teaching someone else’s child how to speak Spanish or English, I would dedicate myself to teaching my own. I couldn’t be happier! I’m married to the BEST man in the world and we have 2 twin gatos, Nacho and Fulanito, who think they are Sofía’s big brothers.
Aside from my family, language-learning is my passion. I’m zealous about it- I preach it, I dance it, I sing it; I live it. La Mother Tongue is my medium to share the joys and challenges of being a new parent as well as to share how we make a conscious effort in our daily life to bring baby up bilingual.
