Two Months!!

This weekend marked two months since Caleb and Seth forever joined our family!

They continue to do well!!  This post is completely for me :-).  We often hear and think ourselves how is their English coming along.  So, we began to think of all the words they could say in English.  I wanted to document their progress so I could look back and see their progress, so this list is mostly for me! Lately, they are wanting to speak more and more in English, when they see something they know the word for they are quick to say the word, they enjoy the excitement and praise we shower on them when they say their English words!

So... here's our list at the two month mark.

Watch out                 Hi                           Bye
Banana                      Chips                     Popsicle
Hamburger                Pizza                     Water

All done                      Good job               Wash your hands
Time to go night night
Nice to meet you, how are you? (Andrew has been working with them, when they shake someones hand to say... nice to meet you, how are you?)   Andrew would of been so proud, when they went to the dentist last week, the dentist walked in and shook their hands they immediately said,... nice to meet you, how are you?  :-)

They can also count to ten in English.

I love hearing their progress.  The other night they wanted a popsicle and they wanted to ask for it in English.  They had a little discussion among themselves (in Chinese), trying to think of the correct English word, they danced around the kitchen with their finger on their head as if they were thinking hard, finally Caleb yelled BANANA! And then they laughed and said nooo...  hmmm and then the light bulb went on in Seth's head and he yelled POPSICLE!  They cheered for each other and their efforts.  How could I possibly refuse them a popsicle after all that thinking!  
They enjoyed it!
