He’s quite the talker
Last week we went and visited a Bretheren church here in Perugia. An older woman came up to us after church and invited us to lunch at her house this week. We happily accepted (and what a lesson - how often do we invite total stangers who show up at our churches to lunch in our homes?).
After church today we made it to her house. Her husband, son, daughter, and sister were also there. During the meal (5 courses - appetizer, pasta, meat, salad, dessert & coffee) her sister noted that Trey talks a lot. She called him a chiacchieratino - a little chatter. Those of you who have met Trey know that he is never lacking for words! After the meal when we were leaving she called him a chiacchierone - a chatterbox. In Italian the ending -ino means cute or little. The ending -one means big. In the just-over-three-hour meal, her opinion of him changed quite a bit! I think she’s probably right!

That’s a great story. It sounds like your kids seem to be taking to the language. That is so cool.
