Young Ajus actually spoke to me this morning--a first! He comes to the house with his mother, who cleans the house every Saturday morning. He has been in the habit of following me about, peeking around doors, planting himself nearby wherever I sit, but had so far and most definitely had nothing to say. When spoken to, he would usually either shake his head or ignore me altogether. This morning, however, he was full of smiles, and even a word here and there. At this rate, I believe that we will be holding an actual conversation within perhaps a couple more years. When I left the house to go out for coffee, Ajus stood on the porch waving goodbye. We've definitely broken the ice here! :)
