Census

The other day we had this guy come to our door and give us the census papers. I gave them to Dave and we filled them out on the internet. One of the questions ask what was the first language learned at home in childhood and still understand. I had to answer French and English. I'm certain all of you know that growing up I spoke both. My dad is English and my mom French. As far back as I can remember I spoke both. I've been thinking of doing the same thing with our child but wasn't certain Dave would agree and I didn't want to argue over the subject. I finally got the courage and ask if it would bother Dave if I spoke French to our baby from day one. He said go for it. That made me happy since being French is a part of me and I want that for my kids as well. I'm certain that some of you might not agree but as a soon to be parent, I think that speaking French will benefit my child. I am looking forward to speaking French on a daily basis again. Oh ya and I won't forget either that Dave speaks English. That's my thought for today.
