A six word sentence....sorta kinda

The boys had pasta for lunch today and while Skip finished his quickly, Harry was taking his sweet time. Having finished about 10 minutes earlier, Skip had chosen a dish of ice-cream for their "junk food" snack of the day (Yeah I know, in Russia, it's a staple, here its junk food) and was finishing up when I asked Harry if he too wanted ice cream. His reply was the "stop" hand gesture, and a "no, wait".  I didn't think he'd actually want his since he was already looking full, and tired. Skip finished his ice cream and went to find his pillow for rest time. 
I was loading the dishwasher when Harry got around to finishing and while he was walking over to give me his plate, I wondered where there was more sauce - in his stomach or on his face. Forgetting I had asked him about the ice cream, I told him to go to the bathroom to wash his face before his rest. He paused for a second then said:
"No mommy, 'arry ice ceam first"
I was impressed! May not be grammatically correct, it was a biggie!

  3. Kathy, that's the plan for at least the next year - taking it one school year at a time, but, so far, so good.

  8. Hey. I posted on Debbie's blog that I want to thank you and her and Kathy for letting me be an honorary Irkutsk AP. You are the only people I know who've been actively working to bring home children from Russia longer than I have! You all give me hope.
