YIM !! YIM !!
Two words that became precious to me yesterday!! Yim!! Yim!! Yesterday Samuel and I played hide n seek at the park - we would take turns with his mother Anna-Lena counting to 10 and then looking behind the Cypress, Live Oak, or Magnolia tree's. Hiding wherever we could find a spot.
Samuel is 4 years of age, Swedish, and speaks very little English. But he has learned my first name very well - Yim! When we first met he was quite shy, I think our language differences scared him - now we are best of buddies.
Even though we do not communicate well with words we communicate. Hugs, kisses, smiles and approving looks at each other do it. And - one more, laughter!
I have learned to laugh more with Samuel.
Maybe we should all use less words and just smile more at each other and laugh with each other.
Oh, Samuel did use a phrase that I recognized right away, " na nah na na nah na nah!" (You can't catch me!) The race was on as I darted after him on the park play ground!

A big ole hearty AMEN!
He's a cutie! I'm glad you've made a new friend... ;o)
CroSsview - he is a great boy! I will miss him when he goes back to Sweden. :( !!
Hugs, kisses and smiles are the universal langugage. You and Mama are the right couple to teach it.
I love reading all your post about the good times you have playing with children. I am not sure however if I can buy the part about "The race was on as I DARTED after him". :)
ED - LOL LOL !! DART is a relevant word - how about short darts!! LOL !! I tired fast - Ha!!!
I'm so jealous! I want to play too!
Have fun. God Bless your time together.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
