Our Exchange Student

Originally posted on 9/11/10
Many of my readers may not know that we are hosting an exchange student this year: Sarah from Germany. We were hopeful, but also fearful about whether or not this would be a good thing for Teddy or the exchange student. Luckily, it is working out just fine and Teddy is really warming up to his new Gastschwester (Guest Sister). Teddy is being challenged, because we do more than we used to, but it is good for him. For example, we went to the football game last night, because Sarah is in the band. At first, he was having a fit, didn't want to go and didn't want to be there, but after about 20 minutes, he really got into it and didn't want to leave! Sarah has been with us 4 weeks today and we are all right in the middle of a transition phase, from her being like a guest in our home to being like a real member of the family.
