One month post adopt and life at the Lucas house is a unique experience each and every day. Mikey is slowly learning English and some of the things he is learning is a direct result of being placed in this particular family. Mikey understands a lot more than he can speak - but his words are coming along nicely. Here are some of the most commonly heard English words/and or phrases heard from Mikey.
Hungry! (usually heard several times a day. This kid can eat!)Chicken (one of his favorites)Please forgive me for not blogging so much. A nasty cold virus violated our seemingly impenetrable fortress of wellness and we have been blowing snot for several days. (That and life seems to moving at light speed)
Noodles (when asked what do you want to eat)
Spoon (he uses a spoon with EVERYTHING)
Apple
ZOE!!!!!! (said in various tones ranging from frustration to excitement)
I don't know (said with a shoulder shrug)
YES SIR! (learned at karate - it is usually heard in and out of context)
We gotta go! -We're late (my favorite - I'm sure this was learned from the frantic morning school routine)
and of course, Please and thank you.
The Gang
