choral superstar eric whitacre conducted the vocalessence chorus & ensemble singers, the st. olaf choir, and the 160-voice minnesota high school honors choir in a performance of “sleep”–part of the sold-out vocalessence “eric whitacre extravaganza” on march 22, 2009 at orchestra hall, minneapolis.
lying in his bed last night, elijah said:
「ママ、ドア締めて。暗くして。一緒に入る(布団のなかに)?イライジャ、ギュしてあげるよ。今日、いっぱい遊んだね。ディガー買って、その前にスープ食べて、その前にお風呂はいって。楽しかったね。どうして寝るんだ。おかしいな。わからないよ。」
“mama, close the door. make it dark. come in together (in the blanket)? elijah give you a hug. played a lot today. bought a digger, before that, ate soup. before that, took a bath. it was fun. how come we sleep. strange. don’t understand…”
oyasumi, elijah-kun.

Wow, he speaks really good Japanese now! And it’s so cute!!
I want to listen to him talk… are you recording his talking?
By the time we see him next time, he will be an expert of the cute Japanese language :)
We will try to get there next summer! -
Such a fantastic vocabulary for one so small! ^^ I wish I had seen this earlier. What is your secret? lol.
