Sarah started out life speaking Spanish, then after Mama and Papa were warned that she could be held back a year in school, she started to speak more English, especially when we were getting ready for a trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Now, 6 months later or so, she speaks mostly English. So this trip to Mexico was a good chance for her to be fully immersed in Spanish again so it will stay strong.
The funny part is that she is now speaking with a certain Mexican intonation where the tone goes up at the end of phrases instead of down. It sounds kind of silly, sort of like a protesting Speedy Gonzalez.
Sarah: Ayy, Mamaaa? No me gustaaa? Ayy, noooo?
