"Thank you for spending time with me"
"That was the best birthday party ever!"
'nough said. Hearing that from your kids is about as good as it gets.
Today was Sophia and Elizabeth's sixth birthday.
A few favorite moments:
Little Nina is a spitfire, a doll and absolutely beautiful.
Eric said to her, "you're a cutie patootie!"
Nina: "Don't call me a patootie!"
Eric said okay, and then looked at Nina's father, who shrugged and explained to Eric that in their house, patootie is the word they use for vagina.
Oops!
I had a little conversation with Nina, where she asked me "Where is Sophia's mommy?"
Me: Sophia doesn't have a mommy
Nina: She only has two daddies?
Me: Yes
Nina: she's lucky! I have a mommy and a daddy.
Me: Well you're lucky too!
One of the cool things about sending the kids to the French American International School is that here we are, just a couple of white American guys with kids (just like everyone else, right?), and just by having a birthday party with classmates, I find myself standing around chatting with parents from Japan, Denmark, Honduras and Brazil. And there kids all speak those languages!
