Excellent opening sentence to draw the reader in. You expand on the topic with concise, specific detail. Excellent information in paragraph two about Angela and her Spanish heritage. What an adorable child. She really is pretty. It is also nice to learn more about you.
So true about children being able to learn several languages at once. My nieces and nephews live in a bilingual home. The oldest child loves translating between the grandparents or even incorrectly translating so she can tease them and see the results. It is a great advantage to her to speak both English and Spanish.

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine tale, Gypsy....you learn something every day....I was unaware the fair hair and light features are common in Hispanics, and it's so true about children easily learning different languages. What happened to me then?

Comment from AP Apgar
I like your Haibun poem - Beautiful picture presentation of your daughter - she is beautiful - I was surprised too, as you expected - that she had light hair - children in their first couple of years can learned languages easily - the the brains smartest time of life - I have an adopted son from Mexico and a Russian wife and neither of us have ever become proficient at each others languages - accent's are commonplace -started too late - my son speaks perfect English however - Thank you for sharing G - Good Job.

Comment from kahpot
Yes, they say that children can learn easier than adults, and pick things up a lot quicker, we should all love and respect our mothers as they do sacrifice a lot, an excellent Haibun for the challenge****kahpot

Comment from Mary Vigasin
A beautiful child.
My husband spent his Air Force service in Spain and has often told me that many Spanish citizens are fair-skinned. It is, in fact, common.
You are right that children have the capacity to learn another language.
Well, I may have been the exception to the rule. My grandmother tried to teach me French, and nothing penetrated!
Best wishes,
Mary

Comment from Douglas Goff
Beautiful child. I hope she grew into a wonderful person and has some of your talent.
Yo puedo hablo, and am teaching my two youngest children.
There is nothing on the planet like the love of a good mom. Mine is the best. I don't think mom's sometimes realize how much impact and stuff they impart upon their children, both positive and negative.
Good read.

I think that parents influence their children, that's right.

Yes, it's amazing how fast children can learn languages, that as adults we struggle with. Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. It's again, a beautiful package.

Comment from JSD
More lovely writing from you, although I expected a reference to language to appear in the haiku. Otherwise, the imagery, the colours and the gentle language are perfect.

Thank you very much, Barbara, I appreciate your kind and helpful review. In Haibun, the haiku should relate to the haiku taking the prose further and not repeat anything mentioned in the prose.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind and helpful review.
