Love in any Language
Our house is a very multilingual place at the moment. Spanish and Mandarin Chinese can be heard at just about anytime from any child; and I am pretty sure KB speaks her own language half the time.
The Spanish is thanks to Bubba’s class at Kirk Day School and a little Diego and Dora mixed in (KB counts to 10 over and over). This is Bub’s singing a different version of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”:
The Chinese comes compliments of Ni-Hao, Kai Lan! The kids love this show and I love that they are learning pretty decent lessons on life and learning a bit of Chinese in the process. KB has a real ear for it. Little has a surprisingly good memory of it.
The two girls disappeared for awhile last night and I hear chatting and giggling coming from KB’s room. Little emerged with this piece of work. . . the names of the characters on Ni-Hao, Kai Lan. She used English phonics so I am not sure how correctly things are spelled, but LOOK AT THAT PENMANSHIP!!
Looks like a call to the cousins is in order so the kids can share their words. KB is thrilled that she knows words Abigail knows.

March Madness
I come from a background of LOVING college basketball. Seriously – I could watch for hours and when we were first married, we would. My yearly bracket was something I looked forward to filling out and it was with pride that I would watch my picks advance.
Enter deep sigh here.
For the past couple of years my ability to watch has diminished; there is just no time. This year I have found myself not even wanting to watch because I know so little about what is going on and I have so many other things to get done in the small windows of time I have free. It is so sad.
Imagine my delight, though, when I walked into the living room this weekend and saw this:
Did you see his little hand peeking around behind Honey’s neck? This is seriously how they were sitting and this is why:
They were watching college basketball. My heart smiled. What FUN if our little guy grows up to love basketball!! He doesn’t even have to play. . .just to love it enough that I can sit and watch it with him would be great.
For now, it is special time with his daddy and just look at those faces!! I’ll do whatever I need to do to free Honey up to watch with Bubs at this point. Such smiles! My two favorite guys. . .
