First day of the week: Intentions

Starting to speak in English full time to your kids is as hard as starting a diet. It's every Monday when you decide to start: "Yes, definitely, I'm going to start on Monday; this time, I'll do it, no doubt". And you start, but you give up on ... Wednesday?

It's been a couple of weeks now since I had decided to speak full time in English, but the truth is that at this stage of my bilingualising-process it's pointless. I can speak in English to tell my kids to get dressed, to set the table, to brush their teeth..., but I can't do it when I have to tell them off.
Imagine my kids' face if I scold them. I couldn't talk to them neither about sharing, nor about behaving... Their English knowledge isn't good for this kind of serious conversations.
So...
I've been these days thinking about the well-spread theory of OPOL (One person One language), and I'm now more for my own OMOL (One Mood One Language). I speak English when I'm clam, relaxed, when I've time to repeat the same sentence more than three times..., but never when my place turns to shouts, fights, all of us rushing...
Therefore, I've decided to have some good moments in English, our English playing time, our English corner..., and leave my mother tongue for "other" moments.

I've written a list of topics which I consider necessary to cover within infants education, and I'll organize family games and activities having to do with that topic (one topic a week). This way I can define the language I want them to learn and use.

We've had Carnival Holidays, so my week this time starts today, Wednesday. Therefore, I need an easy topic for them.
My choice has been...

 PARTS OF THE BODY 

(as they know most of the words).

I'll write another post on Sunday on how were things...
