It's fun to hear that Kaya cries to you in German, Tamara, and that Ella does it in English though living in France.<br /><br />I wonder...if we took a poll, would other parents report their child whining to them in that parent's target Sarah @ Baby Bilingualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907207816628137938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-12961759010051404222011-12-02T09:07:48.764-07:002011-12-02T09:07:48.764-07:00Hello, I've just happened upon your blog and I...Hello, I've just happened upon your blog and I love it! My husband is French and he speaks only French with our 3 children (6,5 and 2). The 2-year-old is the only boy and speaks more French than English! How wonderful to find a blog like yours! I'm excited to use some of the learning material to help them with the academic side of the language.DGMommyhttp://www.dgmommy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-33596174177802720112011-12-01T08:48:51.612-07:002011-12-01T08:48:51.612-07:00This is a great story Sarah.

Hooray that she's able to do it in two languages, right? ;) I think I read a yahoo article somewhere that said whining was voted the most annoying sound in the world. <br /><br />By the way, I sent you an e-mail to the one attached to your blog.

I love to learn English through Acronyms. recently I coined S MA CAPS (Pronounced See My Caps), an acronym/a Mnemonic to recall types of count nouns. So, Teach your kids the basics of count nouns through this simple acronym. It stands for Society, Measurement, Animals, Containers, Abstract, Person, Shape. It might help you too. link sridharhttp://english-acronyms-mnemonics.blogspot.com/2011/11/mnemonics-children-acronyms-kids.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-36744840312959160972011-11-25T23:41:19.573-07:002011-11-25T23:41:19.573-07:00This is such a sweet little story, Sarah!
