Speaking more french

Since I didn't speak French with my children since birth, probably the most difficult thing about introducing a second language has been making it seem natural--and then of course, there's remembering to speak it! This weekend, I bought a puppet. My kids are 5 (turning six), 4, and 19 months. The two youngest are completely taken with puppets, and interact with them as though I'm not even there.

I'm going to introduce Pierre to the kids tomorrow. He speaks only French, of course, so they must speak only French to him. I'd been considering it, because I figured it would be a great tool. I found this video, and it was all the encouragement I needed.
