Czech party

Yesterday we were invited to a gathering of Portland Czechs. A couple new to the area with a two-year old girl organized the party. So many Czechs came out of the woodwork that my eyes almost popped out of my head. I didn't even know there were so many Czechs in our neck of the woods. Lots of them with children too. We are now talking about starting regular parent/child get-togethers. What I would like is for the adults to take turns playing Czech children's games and leading a Czech sing-along with the children each time, but a lot of the mothers just want to socialize and let the children play free-style. So, that's what might happen. The only trouble with that is that the older children already use English, not Czech, to speak to each other, which sort of defeats the purpose of Jonah joining the group. The idea is, afterall, for him to hear Czech around him, especially coming from other children. We'll see what materializes.
