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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.

FYI.
YAAAAAAAAAAY msbelle'n'Mac!
I dunno if it's a faux pas to ask in Press, but does anyone have a media bistro account?
I was gonna offer up DH, but it looks like Google came through first. Your editor rocks!

Oh, Hebrew got it right then, because that's how we call it (um, with the Hebrew words, of course). It's amazing how kids (of all ages. Um, me included) are fascinated by these trucks.
