We celebrated Jerry's birthday at a local Mexican restaurant that we love: El Indio. The food is great, and they are always so sweet to Mario and Erik. I was very pleased that the boys wanted to order in Spanish, well the milk at least. They have Spanish classes at school twice a week. When they were very little, we took lots of mommy and me Spanish classes, and went to Spanish storytime at one of the public libraries, and periodically attended Mass in Spanish. Plus we have a heap of kids books in Spanish and English and a variety of kids music CDs in Spanish. I had hopes that we would speak a lot more Spanish around the house, but I've been lazy about that over the last year I think. I'd really like to get better in Spanish, especially since our new hijitos could very well be older than infants and more verbal.
Here's my November resolution: to practice Spanish every day, hopefully orally if there is someone around to speak with, or at least some reading and pretend conversations on my own. Maybe I'll have dreams in Spanish again!
