Observation Begins
Jo: "Nice to meet you, I'm Jo."

Winifred: "This is Aito, we adopted him from Japan."

Jo: "Hello, Aito. How are you, sweetie?"

[Aito looks at her with fear filled eyes and buries himself into Winifred's knee]

Winifred: "He's shy very shy"

Jo: "It's okay it's just me Jo-Jo."

[Aito shakes Jo's hand very shyly]

Winifred: "That over there is Dulce, she came home from Mexico. Barak was adopted from Hungary. Ji-min was adopted from South Korea 3 months ago."

Jo: "Who's that watching TV?"

Winifred: "That's Eclair, she came home from France 6 months ago."

Jo: "Hello."

[Ji-min looks at her, confused]

Winifred: "She doesn't understand."

Ji-min: "음, 조 안녕하세요. 오늘은 어떠세요?" (Translation: "Um, hello there Jo. How are you today?")

Jo: "Good, and you?"

Observation Continues
Jo: "Later on, mom gathered the kids to take with her to go grocery shopping then buying Eclair a birthday present."

[Ji-min walks over to Eclair and Barak in a shy mood]

Ji-min: "I find it scared to go shopping with mommy."

Winifred: "Children, we need to buy Eclair a birthday present!"

Eclair: "Mon anniversaire est à venir!" (Translation: My birthday is coming up!)

Ji-min: "다시는 내 생일 였으면 좋겠네" (Translation: I wish it was my birthday again)

Eclair: "Alléger soeur, il sera un jour de votre anniversaire" (Translation: "Lighten up, sister! it will be your birthday someday!")

Ji-min: "좋아요" (Translation: Okay)

Jo: "It didn't take long for Abelinda to misbehave in public."

[Abelinda shoplifts a book about Germany]

Winifred: "Abelinda, honey, we can't buy this book today. Put it back where you found it."

Abelinda: "ICH WILL DIESES BUCH!" (Translation: "I WANT THIS BOOK!")

Winifred: "I told you to put it back."

[Abelinda screams]

Winifred: "Put it back or you'll be going to your room for a timeout when we get home."

[Abelinda throws the book at Winifred]

Winifred: "That's it. You're in trouble."

Bedtime
Winifred: "Kids, it's bedtime!"

Abelinda: "Schlafenszeit schon?" (translates to: "Bedtime already?")

Barak: "De nem hiszem, hogy lefekvés előtt még!" (translates to: "But I don't think it's bedtime yet!")

Winifred: "Come on, you need to go to sleep."

Abelinda: "Nicht!" (translates to: "No!")

Winifred: "Please."

Abelinda: "Ich bin nicht gehen bis bett!" (Translation: "I'm not going to bed!")

Barak: "Nem vagyok álmos!" (Translation: "I'm not sleepy!")

Dulce: "Yo tampoco!" (Translation: "Me neither!")

Jo: "It was a nightly struggle for mom and dad to get the kids into bed."

Discipline
Jo: "Later on, Eclair started playing up and was yelling at Winifred."

[Winifred is cooking dinner]

Eclair: "Vous tête stupide!" (Translation: You stupid head!)

Winifred: "Excuse me? I couldn't hear you. I'm busy cooking dinner."

[Aito is playing with Ji-Min]

[Eclair clings onto one of Winifred's legs and starts shouting louder]

Eclair: "Faire quelque chose avec moi ou je te tue!" (Translates to: "Do something with me or I will kill you!")

Winifred: "I can't be with you right now because I am cooking dinner."

Preston: "Eclair, mommy is trying to cook dinner."

Eclair: "" (Translation: "BUT THIS IDIOT CAN'T PLAY WITH ME!")

Preston: "Calm down, Eclair. You know what? Why don't you play with Ji-Min and Aito?"

Eclair: "" (Translation: "Mommy should play with me, too!")

Preston: "Eclair, stop this tantrum or you will be going to the Naughty Pit. Do you understand?"

Jo: "Eclair was confused, angry and frustrated because she could not understand what her adoptive mother was saying to her since she did not speak English at all. She only spoke French so she not know how to communicate with her adoptive parents who both spoke English as well as her adoptive siblings who either spoke Korean, Spanish, German or Japanese."

Abelinda's tantrum
Abelinda: "Nicht!" (Translates to: "No!")

Winifred: "Please stop it."

[Abelinda spits on Winifred's face]

Eclair's 3rd Birthday
