On the way back from Poland we stayed at a Pension in Czech Republic. It was basically a restaurant with 3 rooms for guests. They had a playground outside, and it seemed to be the happening place in the little town. Ethan jumped right in with playing with some Czech boys.
It didn’t bother him one bit that he couldn’t understand them or that they couldn’t understand him. He just loved having some “big” kids to play with. Gary asked one of the boys how old he was, and he said eight. 
The funny thing is that Ethan wore both of the boys out. We have experienced this a lot. Many times Ethan is around elementary aged kids, middle school kids, and even high school kids and they talk about how he tires them out.
Sienna was also playing with some kids in the sand box. These other two little girls are Roma (Gypsy). Gary heard the one in the blue dress saying that Ethan was speaking “Gypsy”. Gypsies often speak the language of the country that they are in, but there are also Gypsy languages. We figure that she has heard someone speak Gypsy, and because Ethan was speaking a different language from Czech that she assumed it was Gypsy.
