Breaking through

We're finally starting to make some progress with the kids learning English! It's been slow and steady, but up until now they have really had no desire to learn another language. It was only their parents desire for them. So that made things a bit difficult.

However, it's like something has finally changed this past week. The girls are suddenly excited about learning and always wanting to know how to say things in English. They enjoy showing people what they know and they are proud of themselves. Claudio just repeats everything that anyone says, so that works out fine. He was running around yesterday afternoon screaming 'doggy doggy!' for about an hour while playing with his nonna's Cocker Spaniel. This caused some confusion because nonna didn't know what he was saying and kept telling him that her dog's name was Lily, not doggy. Haha.

The comprehension levels of all three children has greatly improved as well. Let's hope this excitement keeps up!  :)
