Diana,
My son was born here in the states, but we moved to Spain when he was a baby. My daughter was born in Madrid.
They were both raised the spanish way (hey, what else can I do, I'm a spaniard).
They eat the homemade papillas, went to spanish guarderias, and smelled of nenuco cologne (my 8 year old daughter still does).
Even after we moved back to the states, I'm still raising them the spanish way as much as I can (food, language, education, values etc).
And even now, they still beg for homemade "papilla de frutas", and whenever they're not feeling well they ask for a bowl of "maizena".
