Today's episode is going to be. Quite different than you. Anticipated. And the reason why is because I have a very special guest with you. For the first time I have invited over via Google. My. Four year old at the time of this recording today. Today is his birthday. He turns four. I honestly cannot believe it when people say time will fly. Once you become a mom, like it is so true. And in honor of his birthday and really celebrating me on his birthday, because he made me a mommy. And so in this conversation, we basically talk all about the ago. I asked him what his favorites are at the time of the recording. Maybe things have changed today, who knows, but. Essentially, I wanted to curate our conversation and where he is at at this time of his first few years of life. I grew up. With being recorded all the time. And I'm sure for many of us moms who consider yourselves millennials, like we all grew up with being recorded with. camcorder. My grandparents still have video tapes of me as a little girl, literally the Eagles age. And I thought. Well nowadays everyone. Yes. We capture everything on our phones and, and that's all good. But sometimes these are either a little glimpses of video recordings or just pictures. And I thought, what is another alternative And I'm like, I'm just going to record this kid. through the podcast, but also he is obsessed with my microphone. Both of the boys are really obsessed with it. And they have definitely utilized the microphone for jam sessions. But this time I had him sit down with me and we had a conversation about him. And that way I get to capture his voice and just like his thought process and really what he is interested in. I Know that this interview is all in Spanish. this kid does not want to speak English to us. It's funny. He goes to school. He goes to half day preschool. At least for this year, his class is all in English, even though. Two out of the three teachers that are, there are Spanish speaking teachers. So like they accommodate him. They still speak to him in Spanish, but a lot of the books that they've read and the songs that they seeing it's mostly in English and won't be until next year. Where he will be officially in the dual language program at his school. So needless to say, he understands English and he has had a full-on sentence in English with my non Spanish speaking family members and friends. But for some reason with us, he's like, Nope, I'm speaking to you in Spanish. So just so you know, This interview is all in Spanish Biddle. If you do understand it. Please stick around. It is hilarious. And even if you don't, it's just so cute hearing a little kid's voice. I don't know about y'all. All right. So in honor of his birthday, and again, My fourth anniversary of being a mommy. I am really thrilled and excited to have the My first born and my Ray of sunshine on the podcast.
