family day


Yesterday was Family Day in the elementary school. In E.'s class, the kids sang two songs, one in English and one in Portuguese.

The paparazzi was out in full force, of course.

E.'s Portuguese teacher (the one kissing her fingers, above) told me how impressed she is with his reading and writing.



Here's a note that he wrote me for Mother's Day.

It says: Iu ti amo, Iu gosto de voçe, Voçe e muito engrasado, Voçe fasa qoiesas boas.

The spelling is creative, but otherwise the Portuguese is perfect.

It means: I love you, I like you, You're very funny, You do good things.

What a great Mother's Day gift. Why do these things seem even cuter in Portuguese?

Very cute, and a keeper. You'll still love reading this years from now, and when he's a teenager you can remind him how cool he once thought you were ;)
