Settling in

Paul here again.

It's amazing how quickly children learn... and also parents of children who don't yet speak the same language. Both Nardos and Nahom already call us "mommy" and "daddy". And Stacey and I now understand Amharic for "tee tee" and "poo poo"... so it's all down hill for here... no? It is incredible how the children can parrot almost anything... and Nardos is showing great memory as her English vocabulary is rapidly growing. The really cool thing, however, is the way Nardos passes her learning on down to her brother. I think in her mind, she is more like his mother than his sister.
