I would like to hear my baby saying something to see if I am doing right

This Christmas we have been traveling around the North and East of Switzerland. How beautiful everything was! And how cold! One of the days we visited Zurich and we used the opportunity to meet some Swiss friends who live there. We had a great time. It always feels good to spend some time chatting with people with whom you share things. In addition, we introduced our son to them, as they didnt kno ...

The first few times I thought about having children and speaking to them in English, I had the main ideas clear and very few doubts. It seemed to me that it made sense, that it was interesting and that, just as I talk to my students or to other people in English, I would do it with my son.

Raising children is not an easy task. It is stimulating, exciting, thrilling... one of the greatest experiences that we can have, but definitely: not simple.

My friend Isabel gave my son this book as a new baby gift, when he was just two months old.  He couldnt use it at that moment as he was too little, but soon after, when he was five months, I gave it to him for the first time. He loved it from the very first moment. It is called Pet Tails by Anne Wilkinson and the publisher is Little Jellycat. It is a fabric book but we could consider it as a toy. ...
