Courtney, Noel and Leo returned from their 11 month stint in Nicaragua late last week. We did not share with Alec the date that they were returning as the anticipation would have created way too many behavioral issues for us. He knew it was soon – he just didn’t know when. I gave him about a 2 minute warning. And that was enough.
There are some language barriers at the moment but I think they will quickly dissipate. Leo understands most everything we say in English but refuses to speak it to any of us. I give him a matter of days. :) It is a bit of culture shock for him. And, I would imagine, exhausting for a 3 year old to have memories of the surroundings but adjusting to all that goes with it.
Courtney got the boys these outfits – Alec immediately started stripping to put it on and once Alec had his on- Leo followed suit. They are happier than this picture shows.
I give it a matter of days before they are in sync with the way they use to play with each other and will be off causing a raucous!
