When my wife and I discovered we were having a baby, we knew we wanted to incorporate aspects of our different cultures into her upbringing.

Yasmin is half Mexican and half Pakistani. I'm half Irish and half English. I know, half Irish and half English doesn't sound quite as exotic.

Our daughter will turn three in a couple of weeks, and I'm pleased to say she has embraced all four cultures in different ways.

Mexican

We decided to speak to our daughter in Spanish.

She's become a bilingual speaker, with her Spanish vocabulary currently more expansive than her English dictionary.

I'm willing to admit her Spanish has now surpassed mine despite all those Preply lessons and hours spent on the Babbel app.

She even knows some funny Spanish phrases which make us laugh.

Ireland

If you're familiar with Irish culture, you'll know that we're a country of artists, whether that's poetry, storytelling, music or dancing.

I was scrolling on Netflix, and I came across Riverdance. It's an animated interpretation of the Riverdance show that was a sensation in the 1990s.

Isla was obsessed.

Now, she loves to do her unqiue style of Irish dancing for visitors.

Pakistani

Unsurprisingly, considering her parents love food, our daughter loves nothing more than eating Mexican food cooked by her Mom or Abuela.

But she has a slight preference for Pakistani food.

She loves to make roti with her Nanu in the kitchen, eat a mild curry like Keema and eat Mangos by the bucket load. We never have enough Mangos!

English

Isla has spent the majority of her short life so far in England. So she has been immersed in English culture with friends and family still living there.

Now that we're stateside, the biggest way I get Isla involved in English culture is through sport, whether it's football, tennis or rugby.
