My Xhosa Child

My last semester at BYU was spent studying abroad in South Africa.  I roomed with two other BYU students in the home of a Xhosa family.  I loved my experience there and one of my fond memories is seeing pre-verbal children clicking.  Xhosa is a language with 3 different clicks.  It was so cute to see a child practicing their clicks before they could say much.  Little J.D. is a clicker and it's really cute.  I also love his smile because he had a top middle and side tooth come in before his other middle and side tooth so two are longer than the others.  He's fun to watch!
