Emma now has started using full sentences. (I realize I should have been putting how old she was so I could remember. She is now 2 and half. She has been using full sentences in Spanish for a couple of weeks, although she was throwing Spanish words into English sentences when she was about 2. For example: "I wanna ver Barney." )

Por favor, mama, quiero leche.
Por favor, mama, quiero uvas.
Vamos a biblioteca
Te amo. 


Emma (just over 2 and half) is learning the alphabet in Spanish. She knows A-M, but struggles with some of them. She has learned with names. For example when she sees a letter she will say, "E. Emma!" or "M Mama" or "D. Daddy."
