I'm sure I will be writing a lot on the subject between now and the end of December, but I wanted to share a short little story.
We are trying to teach Claire some basic French words and phrases. Yes, she is only two, but she can handle it! She is quite the talker--probably because she practices all the time. She even talks in her sleep!
We were practicing, and I asked her, "Claire, do you know how to say, 'I love you' in French?"
She answered, "Yes!"
"You do? Can you say, 'I love you' in French?"
The response--"I lav you in Fench!"
This continued with "Hello in Fench", "Goodbye in Fench", etc., etc.!
I think it really started to hit me that we are going to be starting over again when Claire started saying, "I go Fance!" She even said, "I go Fance now." I guess the transistion time isn't easy even if you're two!
Please continue to pray for us!
Here is a picture of us from my family reunion last weekend.
