Week 36: 8 months in Brazil


My preschooler recently had a discussion with her mom about missing her friends back in the U.S. She was lamenting not having any best friends in Brazil and how much she missed her good friends in the U.S. She could only remember one name of a friend from the U.S., and that was of her cousin whom she has only met six or seven times. Since she mentioned her cousin, her mom talked about how we would return to the States, and we would eventually see her cousins again. As my daughter thought about the possibility of seeing her American friends and cousins again, she became sad. She told her mother that it wouldn't be any good to see them again because they would not understand her. By then she would only know how to speak Portuguese.
