Everybody is settling in



This morning Ben woke up and heard Zach using the Thomas the Tank leapster game.
Ben: "Mama. Can I try Thomas?" he asked, clear as day.
The other day, George told him that he was in the way of the movie.
George: "Ben, if you sit that way I can't see."
So Ben moved.
His English is exploding. It's wonderful to really understand what he says and wants -- at least some of the time.
Of course, he probably understands more than we know. Which reminds me of our first week together. We were still in Taiwan and something destructive was going on. Most likely, the boys were about to catapult from one piece of furniture to another or something.
George, with great urgency, asks: "Julie, how do you say 'please no' again in Chinese?"
Ben: Chin Boo-You
