As many of you already know, Ali returned to her Hungarian nursery school on Thursday, August 21st. After 7 weeks away from Hungary (1 week in the UK and the other 6 weeks in the US) she has just about forgotten her Magyar.
When we first started our journey she was speaking mostly Hungarian and we were constantly trying to correct her so she didn't get it mixed up. After our time away her English has flourished but her Hungarian needs a lot of work. She still understands everything that is said to her but she's struggling to find her Hungarian words. I'm not worried as I know in a couple of weeks they'll come flying back into her head.
One of the little things that I love about her school is that her new nursery teacher, Erika (so many Erika's in her life), is the best French braider. Mia used to have Erika as a teacher - 3 years ago - and she'd come home with beautiful braids every day. Now, Ali is coming home with the beautiful hairstyles. The funniest part about it is that I can barely even put Ali's hair into a ponytail without her screaming but she'll sit for 10 - 15 minutes for her teacher while she gets a double French braid.
Had to share these photos of her so you can see how adorable (and grown up) she looks.

With her big sister and her bottom toothed smile (by the way, Mia is still sporting 3 of her little braids from Kiawah!!! We have to wash them carefully as she doesn't want to take them out. I think she has a maximum of 3 - 4 days of life left in them.)
