Three months...

On Monday, Dec. 1 we celebrated three months with Daniel! The time has been more difficult and more fun than I ever imagined. Just for fun, here are a few things I’ve learned in the past three months:


  1. You do not need a common language in order to communicate.
  2. Three weeks is too long to live out of hotels in a foreign country if you have two young children.
  3. You don’t have to have to be blood related in order to fight with your sibling.
  4. For emersion to be successful it requires actual participation in the classroom.
  5. Blogs are fun to write!
  6. Silly is silly in any language.
  7. My boy requires a lot more energy than my girl ever did.
  8. Kittens are cute, but they grow into cats very quickly.
  9. Sharing is hard at any age.
  10. Mommy not working is good for everyone in the family, except Mr. Budget.
  11. Snuggling is fun in any language.
  12. Both of the boys in our family wish momma would drive faster.
  13. Chocolate is a necessary stress reliever.
  14. Love is communicated through actions not words.


There are a million other things, but that’s enough for today.


This morning I woke up, walked into the living room and found Cosette and Daniel sitting on the couch under a blanket together. Cosette had a pile of books by her side and was reading to her brother (picture above). It made my heart happy.


Merry Christmas friends,

Tonya (for J, C & D)
