Haitian Zanmi

Last night, we had our Haitian Creole tutor, Rose over for dinner. Her 3 kids and another kid that is living with them came over. Her kids are Mackens, 15, Misla, 13, Jonathan, 10 and the friend, Fabrize, 12. As soon as we finished eating, Violet and Fabrize started running around the house. Misla joined in. They were laughing and screaming. It was so great!!! Violet took them to the back yard and they ran and ran. It was just wonderful to see. It assured me that when Erickson and Lovekender get here, they'll be playing in no time. Kids are kids, whether they speak the same language or not. It just made me feel sorry for Violet a little bit. She is soooo bored with me most of the time. She just wants to PLAY with other KIDS. She needs her brothers so badly!! I can't wait to see those three kidos running around my house!!! And, our Haitian-American friends promised to come over frequently and play! It will be reassuring for the boys to hear Creole and have fun with some older Haitian kids.
