She our rock during the hard times and I learned so much from her. When she passed I was so devastated but a few years later I realized that her words, her cuentos and everything else she taught me is still with me and so is she.

We too have a special Abuelita in our lives who is the anchor to our kids bilingual development. Thanks too for always sharing such great game and activity ideas! :)

A loving grandparent is a precious and priceless gift.

My first husband was Latino but refused to speak Spanish in our home so that our two boys would be ‘Americanized.’

Now my ‘gringo’ new husband insists that I continue the Spanish in our home with our daughter and her two older brothers from the Latino ex-husband. Ayyy-caramba! What a lovely mess it all is, but we do it and we have fun.

We do not use immersion for various reasons – but the bilingual approach (Spanish right alongside English) has created a great classroom in our home for all of us – even the gatitas!
