Jaylin's Slovak Debut





Not that Jaylin has even had an American debut, but she did get a chance to sing a solo in front of the camp this year!  Every night of camp is a different party called “E-night”, and each E-night has a different theme.  July 4th was, of course, American night, complete with American party games, s’mores, and a quite impressive display of fireworks!  During Slovak night, a group of girls dressed in the typical Slovak folk dress and danced a typical Slovak folk dance.  They invited Jaylin to perform with them, giving her an adorable Slovak outfit to wear like theirs, and having her sing a really cute Slovak song she had learned in her preschool.  She loved it and did a great job!  The Slovaks were impressed with her accent, sounding quite native they said…not that I could hear it…or have it myself!  :-)  At least our kids will sound Slovak!

Good job Jaylin! Our kids accents are perfect, and yet I still struggle to make some sounds. Hope you guys are doing well!
