Amamas!

While in Hawaii, we had an opportunity to speak to some groups of children. We spoke to four different groups on three different days. Mommy usually did all of the talking during these times. Part of her presentation included a song that is played during a slideshow of pictures. The song is in Pidgin and uses the word "amamas" a lot. After the slideshow is over, Mommy always asks the kids if they can say that word with her - "amamas." Once they do, she tells them that they did a good job and explains what the word means (Happy). We haven't spoken to any kids' groups or heard that song for over a week, but we realized that Aden is listening and picking up more than we realize. This week, out of the blue he started saying (with as much enthusiasm as he had heard it), "Everyone, can you say 'amamas'? Good Job!" It has also evolved into, "Mommy, can you say 'amamas'? Good Job! Daddy, can you say 'amamas'? Good Job!" I think by next Home Assignment, he will be able to give our deputation talk for us.
