Coming from a multicultural household, the question that keeps surfacing is “what accent will the baba’s have?”. Will they have the fluent and graceful American English accent of my native tongue, the Irish lilt of Darragh’s homeland or or a very proper British accent?

My theory is that they will have some mix of the three.
Time will surely tell.

Although, the use of British colloquialisms is already filtrating into their vocabulary.

Several days ago we were sitting on the couch and Ava said 2 words very clear. I looked at her with bewilderment. She then repeated the same words several times.
A light bulb went off in my head.
Me: “Oh Dear?”
Ava: “Oh Dear”
Me: “Oh Dear?”
Ava: “Oh Dear”
Me (laughing): “Oh Dear”
Ava (laughing): “Oh Dear”

I love our conversations!
