Hey for little quick understanding on the Norwegian part. So I myself was raised in Norway after being adopted by a Norwegian family. Moved to USA at only 22, now 30 with 2 kids raising them bilingual since birth. My oldest who's 3 currently had her first exposure on my language when she was born. I've documented and noted down all her language progress ever since, that includes documentation through video recordings. Her first words was at only 3 month. I know i still cannot believe it ever happened until I rewind those memories from my phone device. Just simple words like yes(ja) and good morning (go' morn) and hello (hallo)

My youngest is 11 month and have full understanding on my language already but of course there's still his little baby babbling. He knows mamma and papa and when mentioning the word clap "klappe" he will response with a clap.

Now the entire point of this post overall is I've had some few suspecting my oldest for being speech delayed but these are more monolingual people we have with us everyday. Now the kids father and including rest of his family have seen the language progress and always amazed the understanding my oldest often had in my language. The interested part though is Norwegian is considere my forth language taught early toddlerhood. Before adoption i spoke ASL(American sign language) tagalog and English as my previous orphanage in the Philippines was mix of special needs kids and non special need kids. Different disabilities to deafness and blindess as well. The entire orphanage was founded by a American couple as well. We called the lady to the husband mama or mommy back then. ​Sweet lady.

I just wish there was better help for bilingual kids in the usa. I do feel those for Spanish have more help if anything and even kids toys have Spanish options. Its hard be that only one percent speaking a less popular language for two of my children. My kids are often exposed to English daily without missing everything as its everywhere. She follow along quite well and those who gets to interact with her once open to strangers. They get impressed on how much she knows. She also knows over 20+ Sign words in ASL. She always picks up easily and show strong sign of echolia as well. At some point she did daycare a year ago as well without no issue for being misunderstood in the language. She just rather take time with strangers, then over time. She will showcase her personality. Always non stop talking.
