XP AW LIP: Sasha kinda sorta saying her name

Lisichka

So I know I'm being a total AW, but this just makes me smile. Sasha attempted to say her name today, completely out of nowhere! She's been on a kick lately with a bunch of new words and I'm just laughing at her most of the time.

Video here (or just click on my baby blog in siggy).

aaawww...that's too cute! And awesome for teaching her Russian! My sis's husband is from Russia and we all won't let him live it down for not teaching my niece to speak it! =/

Has he lived here for a while? My DH has moved to the States when he was 5, so it's a lot harder for him than for me to speak only Russian at home. How old is your niece? It may still not be too late! I read that the best way to teach a kid a second language is to have one parent speak one language and another parent another.

Sis's hubby came to the states when he was about 8 years old (which was 32 years ago). =/ He definitely doesn't have a hard time speaking it 'cause his 'rents mostly speak to him in Russian. My niece is 9 now, so I don't know how easy it will be at this point.

Yeah, I honestly don't get why you wouldn't want to teach your kid your native language. But if she ever does want to learn it, he can definitely be of great help!
