Well done B.

We just had our 1 and half years Neuvola on Thursday. Everything was just great and Baby B. is a perfect little girl. But... There was a but... and a good one, a great one... Baby B. got super complements on her language skills!
We are a trilingual family. Baby B. is half Brazilian and half Finnish and Mama and Daddy B. speak English at home. A language delay was to be expected since it is very common already in bilingual families but Baby B. has exceeded all expectations, she talks constantly and has a vocabulary of almost 30 words now (in Portuguese and in Finnish, more in Finnish) and that was a surprise to our Neuvola-täti.
I am indeed a very proud Mama! :D

Here are some sites for families with two or many languages:

• Bilingual Families Connect 

• Baby Center: Expert answers. Is it true that children n bilingual families start talking later?

• Raising Bilingual Children

• Suzanne Barron-Hauwaert: Issues surrounding trilingual families: Children with simultaneous exposure to three languages
