Oota!!

Well, it looks like attending an Estonian-language lasteaed (kindergarten) is having an impact on Peter. Tonight when we tried to put him to bed he said, "Oota, oota" (wait, wait) and pulled out something that he wanted to look at. Then I tried again and he said, "Oota, oota" and pulled out something else he wanted to look at. It's the first time he's spoken Estonian without prompting; it really amazed me.

He loves the lasteaed and runs right to his classroom when he gets there each day. The teachers are wonderful and helpful with him. They tell us that he is getting along fine and is a "tubli poiss" (good boy).

Soon, he may end up being my translator!
