Language Lesson

French = garcon
German=junge
Russian=мальчик
Portugese=menino
Spanish=muchacho
Arabic=ولد
Chinese= 男孩
Dutch=jongen
Greek= αγόρι
Japanese= 少年
Korean= 소년

Italian = ragazzo

and in English, the word of the day is BOY

In any language we are very excited, mostly because everything measured properly and looked great. I can't say I'm not beaming with the fact that it is a boy, I would've been elated for a girl, but there is something about having a boy, that is just special.

We went and bought a couple of little clothes now that we know what we're having. I love little boy clothes, I think Kristen is mourning the lost opportunity to purchase little dresses and dainty embroidered sweaters. She's not sad, just shell shocked. Everyone was so certain it was a girl. Kristen's class voted that it was a boy, my classes all voted girl. So we should listen to the elderly and the young and ignore everyone else in between. Kristen's grandfather referred to it as a boy, though he didn't claim divine knowledge or anything.

So, happy we can stop referring to IT and start using him and his and stuff.

Fun day
