espanol

I'm bilingual..
I really want Lucas to say that loud & proud
Knowing two languages hasn't always been easy on me
I still get my vowels confused
E sounds like Spanish i...it killed me
I want him to speak them both well and not be ashamed.
So many times as a kid I was ashamed of my parents.
Their lack of English really embarrassed me.
I didn't understand why they couldn't just speak it.
Why I always had to translate everything.
Sometimes to my advantage.
 I took advantage of their trust and lied if I was in trouble
"Nope that paper said I'm a great student Ma"
It isn't easy learning a new language..I know. 
My parent's try, hard!
They go out of their way to speak with my husband.
I'm no longer ashamed. I'm extremely proud.
They are pretty great grandparents that are helping me
They are the ones that will make sure Spanish makes it's way into Lucas' brain
He's a sponge, He will know Spanish if its the last thing I teach him.
He will love me for it when he's older.
