Au revoir

Today, Roberta (AKA Grandma), John (AKA Grandpa), Sam, and I were leaving a WWII museum store, and the clerk said "bye-bye" to Sam. Then she said "Au revoir," which means "Bye" in French. When the Belgians say it, it usually sounds more like "auvoir," (oh-vwah or oh-uh-vwah) because they run the words together. Well, Roberta said, "Say 'au revoir'," to Sam, and he said "oh-wah". I suddenly felt a little faint, because I realized that this is one of his first words. He has quite a vocabulary developing now, but I never thought a French word would be towards the beginning of the list! Crazy!
