Lost in translation??

Here's the thing about our monthly updates on Lou - they are written by a person who's second or maybe third language is English and MOST of the time the point gets across but every once in awhile it's humorous.

Take for example this months update:

Mood = Smiling
Nutrition = His appetite is perfect.
Behavior = Interesting
Sleep Habit = His sleep habit is good.
Other General Changes = He behaves a lot better at table.

Not really all that informative, none the less, I still look forward to each month's update as if one day it's going to say come pick your son up tomorrow! Ha! A girl can dream, ok?

Does anyone know what exactly it means to behave interestingly? Is that like he randomly walks around with a pumpkin on his head and refuses to take a decent photo for his mama? Would that be a form of interesting behavior? Something to ponder.

John must have been tired and over-worked when he wrote our update on the boys. Ours kept referring to 'HER' and talking about how close they have become. It also said Richnightder is the boss in the big boys' room and is now able to add and subtract! We are missing out on SO much!! :(

I don't mean to alarm you but I have, on many occasions, described your brother's behavior as "interesting".

The part that was funny to me was "he behaves a lot better at table."

Does that mean that he behaves better at the table than he did last month? Or that he behaves better at the table than when he's not at the table?? LOL. Either way, it's pretty cute.

The word "interesting" is used frequently in ours, too.

I think Intresting behavior sounds great. I do think it means that he is going to keep you extremly busy though.

It must be really exciting to get your monthly updates.

Keep your dreams alive Kristi, that day will come.!

One of Noah's early updates said that he was "turbulent". Imagine how worried I was after reading that one. I have noticed that so many of the updates that baffled me before he came home make perfect sense now that I see him in action. I'm sure you will look back on your updates and have some a-ha moments just like we have.
