Hi All, We have a wonderful, loving, but VERY energetic 8 month-old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier (mix?? We adopted her from a shelter...). She seems to have a little too much energy for some of the dogs at the dog park and her day camp, so one of our friends suggested trying to start a Wheaten Terrier playdate. We're hoping there are other Wheaten Terrier owners in the Northern Virginia/DC area who might be interested as well!

Sometimes being the only person who speaks in Spanish to your child is not enough to create a strong foundation for their bilingual skills.  We are a group for families that are raising their children bilingually with Spanish.  Our activities promote our children's bilingualism by exposing them to other adults and children who speak, interact, and play in Spanish.  Also a fun way to meet other families and share information about what works in raising a bilingual child.  Hope you'll join us!
