August - We have a kindergartner!!!

Evan embarked on his first day of Kinder on 8/15, confidently taking the bus to and from school. As two days have swiftly passed, his enthusiasm remains unwavering. I hold a strong belief that he will flourish and refine his English skills. However, I confess to harboring some unease. The uncertainty arises from whether he will persist in valuing his Spanish, or if, regrettably, this new journey might breed disdain. While I am committed to nurturing his Spanish proficiency at home, I find myself pondering: will this effort prove sufficient?

Nuevo año 2024

Evan is about to turn 6, and still prefers to speak Spanish while also acquiring English. He’s new thing right now is saying “bruh” hahaha.  Ethan, is following his big brothers foot steps, and while he does prefer Spanish, he is more Spanglish driven then Evan.  What I’m struggling right now is controlling the use of bad words they’re uttering everyday. The ones they prefer are English: “Butt hole” “Booty head” “fucking nuggets” “fucking…” oh my, now that I’m actually writing them out, they sound awful. I have to confess, they get this from me.

First Mountain Day

Today I decided to have a single mom-son date with Evan. In the morning I told him we will be dropping Ethan to school and then him and I would go to the mountains(the pennicles). This is a celebration Betra College has once a year with students, faculty and staff. This year was my first one and we absolutely loved it. I decided to take Evan only because his older and I thought he would enjoy it much better than Ethan.  Evan's phrase of the day is: "Tan quiere go a laTaña" - Evan wants to go to the mountains.

¿Estoy Guapa?

I asked Evan: Is daddy handsome? ¿Está guapo papi?  He responded,  "está guapo papi." He is handsome. Then I asked if mami was good looking, he then looked at me up and down and then responded, "Mami no guapo, Mami ta sucio." Basically, I'm not good looking and I'm  dirty - =[ Talking about kids being truthful! I haven't taken a shower yet from my 10k run and I do look like a need a shower lol.
