I had a 2 year old from Guatemala (Ruby) when I brought home my 6 year old from Ethiopia (Medina). I have always planned to send Ruby to a Spanish immersion daycare when she's old enough and then to the Spanish immersion grade school and I still do. There aren't the resources for Amharic (Medina's first language) but Medina's old enough to teach me some words. Also, we spend more time talking about Ethiopia and life there. We go to the Ethiopian restaurant about 1 1/2 hours away about once a month. It will be different incorporating Ethiopian culture than Guatemalan but I think it will be interesting. Medina can't wait to show Ruby where she lived in Ethiopia and is so excited to visit Guatemala and see where Ruby's from.
