Sign/English/Spanish conundrum

Kate definitely mixes her sign and talk. She has very few words, but does occasionally create a "phrase" by pairing sign and spoken English. We are a little interested to see what is going to happen now that we've hired a Spanish (only) speaking nanny. While we're hoping for a bilingual baby girl, we realize this is going to further confuse the already confused muddle of learning to talk poor Kate is trying to figure out. Oh, and yes, once again we decided to keep Kate home instead of sending her to daycare. I couldn't give up my loveydoveycuddly mornings home with Kate just because the daycare wants her there by 10:30am. And when chance (really. totally chance. tell you later) threw us a Spanish-speaking nanny we had to give it a shot. She starts this summer, so we'll see! In the meantime, I'm brushing up on my Spanish and buying more kid books in Spanish.
