This week has gone by so fast i can hardly keep up!
Here is a little of what’s been going on.
- This mama is in Spanish mode. As I started speaking Spanish only to the kids they kind of looked at me like I was crazy so i decided to speak both English and Spanish. I’ve been translating everything I can without making the language too overwhelming for them. So far little man says the cutest gracias (thank you) and de nada(your welcome). He also has been asking for agua.
- The weather has been amazing these past few days it seriously feels like a Cali spring day (totally love these days) We even were able to take the kids out for a walk to the playground. While we walked little man pointed address numbers and would say the number I decided to play a quick game of say it in English say it in Spanish- its working. He also counted in English with dad up to 10 and did the same with me in Spanish as he swung on a swing. Little lady is good at repeating anything and everything big brother is doing so its working out great.
- Yesterday was a pretty eventful day. We went to NYC for the whole day. Dad and I got to go to a Martha Stewart show taping(while waiting in line for the show i met some young lady’s from NYU once happened to be from Cali.. what makes it more bizarre is shes from orange county also… its a small world). Little man and little lady enjoyed some time out with grandma at the children’s museum (grandma took some great pics i have yet to upload them) by the time we got out the show it was rush hour and the kids were hungry and very cranky so again dad and I did not get to explore times square… perhaps next time.
- I’ve been researching playgroups and have not found one. So I’m in the middle of maybe creating one. At first i thought maybe a biracial/multicultural playgroup but I think both the kids and I would benefit from a Spanish playgroup. If you organize a playgroup I’d love to get your ideas and thoughts.
- We are still doing lots of Black History activities. I have to share our wall of art. It’s becoming quite full. I also been hoping to take the kids to a black wax museum in Baltimore my bloggy friend The Chatty momma told me about it. I have been looking into but have to see if its still open for business. HOPEFULLY!
- And for the big one I have been asked for an interview for the wonderful podcast: Is That Your Child by Michelle. It’s happening tomorrow, 2/18 at 1pm EST here is the info you can also look for the podcast in your local itunes :). I am super excited and nervous.I hope you tune in!!!
- and last but not least I will be at blogher’11. I was already planning a vacation to go back home and visit family and friends. Now I have 2 reasons to want to go back to San Diego,CA BLOGHERRRRRRRRRR!!! I’ve been wanting to attend since last year since it was NYC but i totally missed getting a ticket.
