As most of you know Luna is attending a German kindergarten two mornings as week, and has been since October. I know that she understands her classmates and teachers, but we really hadn't heard her speaking much more than ja, nein, ein, zwei, bitte, danke and tchuss... but all of a sudden lately she's saying things that definitely aren't English! And since her pronunciation still isn't great, we're not always sure if it's German or whether we just don't understand what she's saying...
so today we were in the car on the way back from getting a sled, so that we could all go our sledding today. And Bas asked her what we bought today... and her response was Schlitten! She has been sledding while at school, so she came out with the German word for it first, even though we had been talking about a sled!
Then this afternoon, she started tugging on Bas's arm, saying something we didn't quite understand and pointing at her toy train set. Bas looked over at it, and realized what she was saying... he said "Kaputt gemacht?" And she said "Yeah!" (When she said it, it sounded a bit like "Poot macht!") It's a little unnerving! But I imagine by this time next year, she'll be talking rings around us!
