Skip this post if you are tired of reading about our fabulous grandchildren. :)
I was talking with Janet the other day, and as I usually do, I asked what new cute things our grandkids were doing.
"Well," she replied, "Joseph counted nearly to 50."
This puzzled me, as numbers are his passion and a month ago he had happily counted past 150 for me.
Then she added, "in Japanese."
Have you read The Last Samurai? http://www.amazon.com/LAST-SAMURAI-Helen-Witt/dp/B0014JOL1A/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1344408041&sr=1-1&keywords=the+last+samurai
Some of Joseph's intellectual feats remind me of Ludovic in this novel.
I haven't, but some of my other readers probably have. Maybe I should catch up. :)
