msbelle, welcome home to you and Mac! I've been thinking about you all week, wondering how it's going. How's the language thing working out? Yay for kisses!!!
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
when mac grabbed something off the shelf and said "YES!" and then I said "No", there was no whining or begging.
So effing cute.

language thing is ok for now, but I think he will start getting frustrated pretty soon. I am trying to just focus on a word or two at a time.

and he woke up with a smile in his new bed and greated mom with kisses.
Awwwww. So sweet! I'm so happy for you both, msbelle.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
oooh, how did he like the plane ride?

mac and I are home. a little worse for the wear (I was sick for 4 days and then there were fleas or bedbugs or both), but HOME. and he woke up with a smile in his new bed and greated mom with kisses.
Sweetness of life itself!
That is so fucking great. I need to fly to New York and teach him how to play baseball immediately.

msbelle, you're focusing on mac learning English, right, not on Amharic (sp?) for you?

I think he got bored at times, but he LOVES airplanes, or as he says air-o-plane, so he really loved it.
plus all the buttons on the controller for the tv set in the seat back - that was LOTS of fun for him.

I bet that the frustration blooms into an unstoppable eagerness to learn. He's still a wee sponge and I bet there's a million things he wants to tell you and ask you.

Oh, I have a message for msbelle that may be of use to other parents as well. In a conversation that randomly turned to those books with different scenes and the names of everything, a friend of mine charged me with teaching mac that calling it a "cement mixer" is wrong, that there is no such thing as a cement mixer, and it should properly be known as a "concrete mixer."
FYI.
