Note: For the backstory on this, click here to read the “你好 (Ni Hao)” post from November 30.

I was dropping K&O off at daycare late last week when Owen had another triumphant communication event.
Kyle had already climbed out of the car and was standing next to me as I unbuckled Owen. Owen looked up and saw a young Asian woman pushing a stroller down the sidewalk. Almost in passing as he climbed down from his seat, but loud enough to be heard, he exclaimed “ni hao!”
The young woman looked up and cheerily called back, “ni hao!”
And we walked into daycare as if this was completely normal. Which, I suppose, it is.
