A boy and a truck


Sam is really blossoming right before our eyes. His english is increasing everyday. He has been really chatty the last couple of days! He has such a bright and sparkling personality. People just LOVE him wherever we go. Of course, it helps that he likes to blow kisses to everyone and give a high five. He sports around town with his sunglasses on, he is quite the California guy.

Here are a few of his latest words complete with the correct translation:

Bubble = Bible

Milka = milk

Wallacee = Wallis (our dog)

Beltee= belt

Delish = delicious

Pweese = please

Loovie = movie

Here is a list of words he says correctly: Elevator, up, down, more, big, small, thank you, you're welcome, banana, cottage cheese, shreaded wheat, egg, milk,water, car, go, wash, sleep, EAT, bath, shampoo, soap, duckie, book, brush teeth, bathroom, towel, telephone, purse, keys, push, pull, strong, small, big, light, bed, blanket, strawberries, grapes, watermelon, cooking, music, dance, run, jump, cold, hot, button, shoelace, nice, mad, happy, good morning, underwear, hat, sock, pants, shirt, bye, bye, cheers, seatbelt, bike, sleep, tired, walk, beach, medicine, boo-boo, ouchy waa waa, fork, knife, spoon, cup, lid, off, on, straw, plate, bowl, where, work, clean, airplane, no, yes. The list goes on but Sam is such a quick learner and he is really picking up the language! Not bad for only being in the US for two months.

That is so incredible!!! I am so happy for you and Sammy. I know you credit his progress with him being so smart. However, I also think it has A LOT to do with ALL the love, time, love, attention, love, devotion, love, patience, etc., etc., he receives from you and his family.

God is working through all of you in such wonderful ways!
