Scratching, swaddling and trimmering

The other day when I looked at my sons face I couldn't believe how he had his face. You could think this happened throughout the day, but it didn't. He did it in seconds! I guess one of his nails was pointed and when he scratched his face he did all that. My poor baby...

Non-native bilingual parenting

I have just found a fantastic website where there is plenty of information about raising children in a non-native language.

First day speaking in English in front of friends

Today has been a very important day. For the first time I have spoken to my son in English while being with other people.

It has been some weeks that  I wanted to meet some friends and I have finally done it. My friends and I have meet to have a coffee and chat a bit. One of them is expecting a baby and the other two have one baby too. Can you guess what did we talk about? Of course! Babies’ clothes, food, toys, gadgets... you always learn new things from your friends.

My son 'speaking'. 3 months old.

I feel more and more motivated to start this adventure. I speak to my son almost all the time in English. He is three months old (corrected age, as he was premature) and he has started to recognize my voice and he interacts with me when I sing or speak to him.

Learning specific vocab

 I have started to talk to my son a lot in English this last week. I'm singing songs to him and every time I'm alone with him, I only speak to him in English. As I told you before

I don't know why, but I still feel shy doing it in front of my husband or with other people. For now I am not worried, I know I will have confidence to do it soon. Moreover my soon is starting to interact with me. when I am singing, when I smile and laugh or when I touch his face he starts smiling or making sounds too.

My baby's reflux

I have come across an interesting website about parenting looking for vocabulary regarding regurgitation.

I have found that we can use to regurgitate, to spit up or to vomit (although vomiting is not exactly the same as regurgitating).

I love looking for certain words in a real context and in this web I have found some interesting ones http://www.netmums.com/baby/reflux

Poo and pee in context

This is something that students of English as a second language hardly ever learn, but it is really important if we speak in English to our children.

This is what I have found and haven't found:
