I LOVE this girl.

One of my favorite things about this adventure we're on as a family is that our children get to experience a whole new way of life. It's amazing to see them reacting and processing and getting comfortable here.

Nia is making me smile pretty much every moment here... She keeps making the funniest observations.
*****************
Today when we were at the land and met the two little machete-toting, non-pants-wearing boys, Nia spoke to them briefly in Creole. Afterwords she said, "Mom, I think they probably knew I was a "America girl" and not a Haitian."

And so I said, "Really? How do you think they knew that?"

And she said, "Because I was wearing "America clothes" not Haiti clothes."

And I said, "Really? Is that the only reason you think they thought that you were an "America Girl?""

And she said, "Yeah, I think so."

(as if she didn't realize her skin is so white it practically glows in the dark--)
