We encourage the children to read, write, draw, make up poems, think about the world, and use their imaginations. Sometimes this backfires on us. I'd recently taught the boys how to write their names in Russian, making them think about language, and how some were very different from English. SM particularly enjoyed this and made me write out lots of words for him.
A few weeks later I was writing a shopping list to give to ChaosMan, with SM sat on my knee. He peered closely at the paper looking very puzzled and asked me "Are you writing in Russian?"
No. I wasn't.
