talkers

John is launching into the verbal world with "Bye Bye" and "Pai" (simple Chinese for when you give a high five) and the most melodious "mama" ever...

And Marian and Isaiah have each recently each coined their own adjectives. Marian likes things that are "turn around the rosey." Pieces of bread, twisty pony tails, lego maneuvers... they're all better "turn around the rosey". I couldn't agree more... A few times I've had to show her the "T A t R" moves to (those pieces of bread, for example) to convince her of the worthiness of whatever it is I'm suggesting... it's worked and I'm grateful!

And Isaiah's teacher couldn't keep from giggling while she told me what she overheard our boy say this morning. A boy in class asked Isaiah if he knew what they were going to be eating for lunch and he answered "gong fu niao." (Kung fu bird). When he saw the glad reaction he got for that funny line, he decided that would be his new word to mean that whatever it is, is really cool... gong fu bed, gong fu book, our gong fu silly bilingual boy!


These are a few shots from "Children's Day" at morning preschool here last month.
