So what if she is minus-four weeks old?
A couple of the nurses in the NICU are Chinese, so we left this little note for them on Lilia’s board (请您跟我讲中文). We can’t be there 24 hours a day, so many of her diaper changings and feedings are done by the nurses. Every once in a while she’s bound to get one of the Chinese ones!
In this hospital, Lilia is a minority as the daughter of native English speakers, and she’s hearing more Punjabi than Chinese on a daily basis (both her immediate neighbours belong to Indo-Canadian families). Still, she yanked out her own feeding tube last night and the doctor decided to leave it out, so she’s one step closer to the door!

I’m an Eden too! Are you from the Chicago area by any chance?
Nope, but I know a guy from Illinois… I think. Why, are their lots of Edens over there?
Are you preparing a banquet for friends and family when Lilia turns one month?
We’re supposed to throw a banquet? What does it need to include? That would be fun!
Absolutely! It will be an invitation to all in the families, yours and Jessica’s, and all your friends. Forget about announcements by e-mail. Throw a banquet, any banquet, but make sure everyone gets an egg dyed red. It’s for luck. Now the Edens will have “face”. :D
Hello Joel,
Sorry, It’s been a long time hasn’t it? I am terrible about keeping up with friends and blogs.
Anyway, I logged on to say:
Congratulations on the birth of your first child!
As, long as you are both consistent it is never to early or too late to acquire/or teach a language.
Mazal Tov!
