Child who speaks NO English

[5 Little Monkeys]

Thanks for the kind words Kassiemom It's going to be a struggle I can tell but I think I'm up for it! It was so cute today, my husband looked up Chinese words and how to say them and tried to talk to him today....love!!

He was soooo tired and ended up having a meltdown. He was crying and talking to me in Chinese and asking for "mama". This is when my husband tried to tell him that his mom was working and would be here soon. He did stop crying and pay attention to him so maybe he was understanding his attempt at Chinese!! lol. I ended up taking him back downstairs to the nap room and laying with him on our spare bed. He snuggled in with me and fell asleep for about another 20 minutes or so. I hope I don't have to do this every day but under these circumstances I am okay with doing it until the language barrier is broken down a bit.

Mom and older brother picked up today and he told mom he had fun and played with new toys. Mom seemed happy (he did have a scratch on his eye that she asked about but he told her that it happened when he was crying....so I'm told lol. They had a conversation in Chinese and than she told me what they said) I sent home a letter stating what we did/ate today so that they could take it home and read in detail or have the older son translate for them. She said "say see you in the morning" and he said it in perfect english so I'm hoping/thinking they are working on english at home too

All in all, the day was pretty darn good considering the circumstances!! Thanks for all the help....I will gladly take any suggestions anyone has at any point in time!!
