CELEBRATING MOMENTS

Thursday morning. The dishes are washed. Paul is at a meeting. The kids are at school. And the week is almost done. I am naturally not an early-riser, so these 6:15 mornings are a bit of a challenge for me and the kids. The kids are wiped out after being in Spanish school for 3 1/2 hours a day. So we just home school from 7-9:30am. They work really well first thing in the morning. This morning I had two wonderful moments that I just had to share with you all. One almost made me cry. The other made me belly-laugh.

Firstly, 2 girls spoke to Sydney this morning at school. We all had a 15 minute conversation in English/Spanish and Spanglish. Syd walked away from that conversation just beaming and gave me a subtle high five. For the first 3 days, she had been standing awkwardly for 30 minutes saying "Hola" to everyone while everyone walked by. Poor thing was counting the seconds until the bell only ever getting a shy smile in return . Day 4 of school - and finally some contact! This is a reason to celebrate.


The second moment happened this morning as the kids were finishing up home school and getting ready for Spanish school. I think the video speaks for itself.

"Me gusta pollo" is "I like chicken". Apparently Josh likes chicken!

Until I blog again!
