Who needs words?

A little over a week ago, my friend Cesilie and her two gorgeous kids visited the boys and me for a morning. Her daughter, Luella, is a few months older than the boys and speaks no English (her momma speaks Norwegian and her daddy speaks Spanish). Despite the language difference, I was amazed at how the boys and Luella were able to play with each other. I suppose building with legos and playing cars surpasses the language barrier, but the best was seeing them make silly faces and giggle at each other. We even got all three busy bodies to sit on the sofa for an episode of the Little Einsteins. Amazing!

Now, if only they didn't live so far away! At least the next time we get to enjoy our long-distance playdate from Norway there will be another little tyke to play with little Lukas. :)

That's funny! Ian's first word was actually a Norwegian word - "ha-du" which means "goodbye"! We were visiting friends in Norway when he picked it up.
