Yesterday, it seems, Ricki finally got homesick. She called up (via her volunteer’s cell phone) to say that she missed me. But she agreed that she was also having a great time. But, after all, she OUGHT to miss me after 6 days!
And if you ask what I have been doing with her gone, I will answer “Wasting way too much time.” But one thing I did do was re-view a video on speech problems in children with Down syndrome. In the section on pragmatics, they mentioned that we all use set “scripts” when doing certain things, like closing a phone conversation. And these can be learned. My “script” for finishing phone conversations is “Kol Tuv” (“Be well”).
Now if I hadn’t heard that video yesterday, I’m not sure I would have noticed Ricki’s sign off: “Kol Tuv”. That’s my girl!

Thank you for visiting my blog earlier! If she waited 6 days before calling you - that's great. I had a hard time at camp when I went, and didn't even last a day before calling my mom!
Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for taking the time to visit and comment on my blog.
:)
We phoned her about once evey two days, but only now did she say that she misssed us and made an effort to call.
