Back again with an Advent Calendar, a gift to my kids, and a fun challenge for me, and getting harder as they grow up! A story told one day at a time…  Here is day 1st. Enjoy!

Aquí estoy de nuevo con un Calendario de Adviento, un regalo para mis hijas, y un fantástico reto para mi… cuanto más grandes ellas más grande el desafío! Una historia contada día a día… Aquí va el 1er día. ¡Que lo disfrutéis! 

Bilingualism in preadolescence

01-3-2017-o-tired-sm

Any parent of a pre-teen or teen can relate to a situation that goes
like this: you ask your kid something with kindness, and a loud response
is instantly thrown back at you by your VERY annoyed kid. Obviously,
silly you, it was the wrong question. Still, I appreciated the layer of
humor that the bilingualism of my child added this time. She did too
when I showed her this drawing. We had a good laugh 🙂

At last, the 24th is here.

It’s been a lot of fun to make this Advent Calendar, I’m not religious, but I do believe in people, especially the young ones, who will build the future. I loved to make it, draw the characters, (some took several tries) and see it take shape. But best of all, I enjoyed sharing it with my daughters, for whom I made it, and also share it with family, friends and all of you out there!

Merry christmas! Feliz Navidad
