We went to Cornel/Kirsten’s house for a nice dinner tonight. Mckayla was the youngest of four kids there tonight. Jordan was so excited when Mckayla showed up and brought out a bunch of her princesses to share with Mckayla. She even took Mckayla to her room to show off her “beautiful room”. She was so generous, offering all her toys and told her that she can take them home. Then , they both wondered off to the play room which was filled with a bunch of toys. I watched as Mckayla interacted with the other kids. Jordan, Micah, and Shaw all spoke Afrikaan, but Jordan has picked up a lot of English since she started preschool few months ago. Mckayla and Jordan were dancing along with the leap frog music table. It was so cute watching the girls playing together. Then they both attacked Micah’s Thomas train set. Mckayla was not very gentle and knocked over the rails several times. Micah kept looking up at me and tole me, “rails broken”. I tried my best to put them back together for him but I don’t think I did a good job. It’s amazing to watch the kids interact and they seem to have a good time together without reallly understanding each other’s language. Mckayla the night owl was the only one still awake and playing when we left their house. The other three kids were out asleep before we had our desserts!
