HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Well. It is a red letter day. My daughter's birthday. She is the light of our lives and a truly magnificent human being.

When she was two months old we headed to Brazil and she spent her first 5 years there. She spoke Portuguese as her native language, and understood but didn't speak English until a visit to the states when she was three... then she became bilingual after three months. Children are so amazing in many ways, but especially in their ability to learn and use language. She no longer speaks Portuguese, but I imagine it is buried somewhere in her brain awaiting new birth.

Happy Birthday, sweet one. love, mom
