It came a week late, but Micah got his Easter eggs in the mail and Mom and Dad ate all his candy. (choking hazards, you know). He played for an hour straight without even looking at us. It is amazing how big he is getting and independent. We can't believe it.In our language class, we have 2 teachers-in-training. All three teachers love Micah....they dream about him and have photos of him on their cell phones that they show to their friends. It is crazy. (We took him to class on Tuesday for 10 minutes.) It is a borderline obsession. I'm sure our classmates are tired of hearing examples with Micah in them.
Today our teachers surprised one of our classmates with a birthday cake! Her b-day is on Sunday and they pooled together to get a cake and chai for the whole class. Wow! The cake had a sparkler and candles on it. Very fun. We all enjoyed a delicious reward to the end of a long week of cramming grammar. This week we had to learn 120+ adjectives and 150 verbs. Our minds are melting. Next week, we will have to start writing compositions. We've only been in class 10 days! It is exciting that we are recognizing more and more words on store signs and billboards. It is also impossible to fathom what else we could learn in the next 12 months! We've learned so much in 2 weeks....surely we'll run out of new things to learn in 5 months??? Or is there that much to learn? We are scared of the complicatedness! ;-)
