Those who said it will come a time when a switch will go on in your child's brain and he'll say from one word to 10 words from one day to another, well, they were perfectly right.
Since our Bryce turned 2 1/2 years old, it seems like there's another kid taking space into his body. A kid who talks...a lot.:)
It's amazing to hear the amount of words and sentences coming out of his mouth!!! Sometimes we're wondering "where does that come from"? It's so much fun to see his vocabulary blossom but also I believe it makes him feel good being able to make himself understood so much easier.
At this point, I can say for sure he's 100% fluent in English, everything he says is in English with the exception of 2-3 Romanian words BUT he understands absolutely 100% of everything I say to him in Romanian and he's more willing to repeat Romanian words every time I ask him to.
So, for all the bilingual parents out there: "don't give up and continue talking in your native language to your kids! It will pay off one day, you'll see".:)
