Navigating taking care of a baby with limited communication was more difficult than Daniela would have anticipated. Sam was incredibly patient about it though.
They both ended up looking up the translation for specific often-used phrases to try and make things easier and that did help. But it didn't help with the in-depth conversations much. They got by though, the way they had for months.
