Today at lunch I suggested that we go outside when we were done and as usual my sweet little schedule guy, Israel went through what needed to happen in order for us to go outside. First bathroom and then wash hands. I agreed and Dawit repeated it with first Shint and then wash hands. Israel as plain as day(which does not always happen) said no more shinta bet we call it toilet. We pee in toilet. I smiled and was kinda of sad. As an Ethiopian man in our community met them last spring he said they will be Americans. They are from Ethiopia and keep that alive for them. Read to them about their home country and the traditions and folk stories but as he looked at his kids playing, they will be Americans as mine are. Some might not understand as you look around at our wonderful country but to me, after being in their country it is sad. Unexpected emotions and adoption go hand in hand.
OK no more pee posts!!!
Last nite Israel and Dawit caught a lady bug. It was the highlight of the day, well except for the chocolate chip cookies Mrs Myers sent over! They sat on the floor for about a half an hour playing gently with this poor little bug. Sean joined in on the fun and these 3 boys were having a great time......until it flew away. I was shocked that it was still alive. Dawit was shocked that it left him. He was really distraught. I convinced him that it needed a nap and he said well tomorrow jkhjdhf jhjdhfdh jduadsere hfakjhdfjdhf jkhdfjdjhf eywqjdwe. Not a typo. I have no idea what he said just like you have no idea what was typed. All I know is there was a plan for tomorrow.
Here are a few pics of the lady bug fun.
