Kirk and I moved to the next phase in language yesterday, and so we have to start telling stories. I had a picture book out and it was pics of Christmas. We play the white elephant game every Christmas so I decided to tell our teacher about playing that game. It was so funny, to start with the name of the makes no sense, but when I told him that you can choose a gift or steal one from someone, he couldn't believe it!!!!! It was so funny. But by the time I got to the end of my story he was laughing and now he wants to play the game with us. So maybe this year we will be the game with him.
Kirk told him today about raising cows and I told him about showing animals in 4-H, those were interesting stories for him too. He couldn't believe that you can feed a baby calve from a bottle or walk a cow in a ring for someone to judge.
It was a lot of fun and it was great to be able to make a whole sentence in this language. Of course he had to help us a lot with the words, but we were able to get a lot of it out too, and that was exciting!!!
