Stahlke Adoption

More on Loud Noises

On our very first visit with Kola, the word "airplane" (samalot) was already a prominent part of the conversation (see the blog post on 10/8/08). During our initial months with him, he never failed to hear and see airplanes in the sky, excitedly pointing at them and exclaiming "samalot, samalot!"

In preparing him for life in the U.S., we asked him what he thought a typical U.S. home would be like. "Every family has an airplane, right?"

And guess what Kola wants to do when he grows up? Be an astronaut!
