Last night we had two young visitors with interesting accents. Lexie, age 5 and her little brother, Ieiun(?) age 2, going on 3. Both have grown up in Wales and have delightful accents. Both are very bright. Lexie hasn't started school but can count to 100 and we showed her how to go on to 200, knows her alphabet and other things. Ieiun can count to 30 and loves to sing. He knows the words to Itty Bitty Spider, a Bumblebee song where he gets stung and others. They loved the cat but couldn't get her to play with them. Little brother helped me feed the birds this morning. He is curious and interested in everything and wants to help.
Yesterday Lexie loved the swing seat on the patio and climbed all over it pretending to be a monkey with appropriate sounds. She will make a gymnast. After taking a bath in the whirlpool tub last night and sleeping on the recliners this morning they left to visit Glen Rose and the dinosaur tracks on their way to meet their parents coming in to DFW from their vacation in Las Vegas. They had slight accents in their speech but were curious about everything. It was reported that they looked at a copper penny and said "this must be your king" because all British coins have monarchs pictured on them. We had to tell them we don't have a king, yet. It was a delight to have them around.
