Recently a friend of mine has had to take her new little baby to the Dr. for follow ups and vaccines. She has two older boys who would be a huge handful while she waited for her turn at the local clinic. So, I've been watching them. It's a lesson in patience and language learning forsure. Both boys seem to understand English pretty well but they mostly speak rifi and Arabic. We work together and little by little we can sort things out.
Today my friend and her sister took their kids to the Dr. so I had an extra little girl with me. This little one understands a lot more English since she lives with someone who speaks English, but she doesn't know me as well as the boys do. She started out her visit crying and wanting her mom. I decided to pull out the playdoh and have a little preschool hoping it would help her relax. So far it's been a huge success.
Nothing like hanging out with little people to stretch my language skills and keep me giggling.
