Wow! This picture is old. Since the time this picture was taken, Allison chopped her hair and shot up 3 inches vertically!
Allison is my typical quiet, super sweet, friendly, shy, adorable girl.
Two weeks ago she came in the Teacher's Room looking for her mom (the Art teacher). She ended up telling me all about her aunt and uncle who are visiting from their missionary post in Albania! Her little nervous smile shone through with excitement as she told me about her little cousin "who has four years" and already speaks English, Spanish, and whatever language they speak in Albania.
Then she said, "And I already know words in Albanian!" She rattled off strange sounding words that meant "cow," "friend," "hello," and "Happy Birthday." In her excitement she tucked her hair behind her ear for the thousandth time and clapped her hands together. I smiled proudly and asked her if she liked learning Albanian.
She nodded vigorously. "Yes! I want to learn. Then I know 3 languages!"
