We received Jessica’s passport the other day. Strange to see her name and picture on an official document as a British Citizen. Feels a bit odd that I should have a British baby… But then of course she’s Ian’s baby too and this is where she was born. And we’ll bring her up bilingual – already from start we’ve been speaking our different languages to her, trying to keep it consistent: Daddy speaks English and Mummy Swedish. We feel she should hear both languages from start in order to train her ear to all the different sounds, as some aren’t used in both languages. Hopefully she’ll get the best of both worlds.
