Congrats! I hope she settles in well and learns to sleep through quickly.Originally Posted by spiderken17
I know a lot of you have already met my little man Sam, well he now has a new partner in crime.
Little May was born yesterday at 4am, far too early in the day for my liking
She arrived on her due date just like her big brother so my kids have being punctual on their side already. Mum and bub are doing fine and I cannot wait for them to come home.

This year my daughter's class have been learning how to read/write Katakana in Japanese school. Every week the teacher asks the kids to share what words they know that contain two select Katakana characters, and the teacher writes correct answers on the board. Last Saturday's characters were サ (sa) and ナ (na). Her contribution for "sa" was a fairly common word; サラダ (sarada= salad), but then the teacher asked the kids for "na" words, and here's what my daughter said (circled in yellow)...
For those who may not know, Katakana characters are typically reserved for writing non-Japanese words (foreign loanwords). My daughter's answer is actually two Latin words. They are...
ウルトラマグナス = urutora magunasu = ULTRA MAGNUS

My daughter's in the lounge room watching Sesame Street and I just overheard the Count singing a song, "Eight is great!" and I immediately thought, "Yeah, 8 is great, but when you push it over it just goes on forever."

Thank you and thanks to everyone else who's participated.
P.S.: There is a mistake in the wording of the fourth poll option. It should read: "Parents speak SAME language, child(ren) is BILINGUAL"
So to clarify, here are all the poll options...
Parents speak different languages, child(ren) is trilingual
Parents speak different languages, child(ren) is bilingual
Parents speak different languages, child(ren) is monolingual
Parents speak different languages, child(ren) is bilingual
Parents speak same minority language child, is monolingual
Parents are monolingual, child(ren) is/are multilingual
Parents and child(ren) are all monolingual

Just watched a video of a baby who's too young to be vaccinated with whooping cough.
Seriously, would anyone object if the government just passed a law to make it compulsory for all children to be vaccinated barring a medical exemption? I get that there are a few members in our population who cannot be vaccinated - so just get a doctor to write a letter to confirm this diagnoses and these people can be exempted from vaccination. But I don't see why the government just doesn't make it mandatory for all able-bodied children to receive vaccinations.

"Les enfants voient les enfants apprenent"; "What children see, children learn."
A short but poignant video about the way that children learn from the way that they are treated. Anger begets anger, understanding begets understanding.
