With my Berlitz Spanish flashcards running thru my computer system, I am kicking myself for not staying longer in Espana, and not learning Spanish fully when I lived in Mexico City from birth-6 years old. WTF!!!!
I love Spanish, and my sweet ESL students are helping me after class.
I am trying to stay positive, but Christmas isn't a good time of the year for me. Memories from Panama, the coma mother, the army helicopter are haunting me this week. Go away!
Being poor is also rather irritating.
However, I am DETERMINED to make this Christmas special for Gabriel. My father wants us to create a German Christmas with the shoes outside of the door on Christmas Eve, the advent calendar, and good old German Christmas carols.
Gabriel is excited concern the lights, and the excitement.
In other news, he is doing quite well with his Speech therapist. He is gaining more words. He has apraxia, which is a type of speech delay. This diagnosis didn't surprise me, for I have dyslexia, and it can be hereditary. He is a happy, healthy, and a spunky kid. I am happy that I understand his frustration first hand. However, don't want him to suffer from others.
