Living and Swearing
My dear boy -
It is hard to imagine that 2 and 1/2 years ago you could do nothing by yourself, save nursing and sleeping, and how far you have come in such a short time.
You have gotten into the cursing thing - sometimes Mama and Papa are bad and say "Scheisse" without thinking - Like when the cat jumped out the window onto the scaffolding outside the apartment and I saw him walking past the living room window - I yelled Scheisse! and ran to rescue the cat! That impressed you very much, to my dismay ; ) Papa was also laying network cables through the JYM offices after our renovations. We were all there on a Saturday working, etc. and you heard Papa cursing the cables, he said:
Scheissendreck! (rough translation dirty shit / I guess in English we would say piece of shit!) Anyhow, that impressed you too. You got out your own cables and pretended to lay them (through furniture and along walls) and you cursed Scheissendreck the whole time! Trying to correct you was absolutely futile. We chose to just ignore (not to make it even more enticing by drawing all kinds of attention to the word and your saying it!)
You definitely have some binlingual mixes that are quite endearing:
Mama kann ich bitte more haven?
Super gemacht! Mama is a big boy now! (After I successfully sliced your pizza.
It was really cute how the last time we skyped with grandma, you put on quite a show for her! You danced and bounced around on the sofa and were really hamming it up for her.
I love how you are singing all the time (like your Mama!)- you know nearly all the words (acoustically at least) to Somewhere over the Rainbow (I sing this to you very often to help you fall sleep) and you know all the ABC's. It is funny because we watch this one video - ABC gang (three guys A, B and C) where they sing the song and afterwards letter A starts humming the tune and says "Hey..wait a minute" and starts singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star under his breath - he then shouts "Hey, they`re the same song! They`re the same song! We always laugh so hard here and you like to imitate that scene at the breakfast table. So funny!
The other day you took your doll Mocca (yes you have one!) held her and sang her Somewhere over the Rainbow (while giving her your Binky!) to get to her to sleep. So cute : )
At the nursery we had a developement assessment at the beginning of August. You are average to well-above average in every category. They say you are the only one who knows (and uses!) the names of all the kids and teachers including those from the other groups, that you don't see that often!
They say you are the local commentator/ news reporter..whatever goes on, is being done or the actions of other kids you narrate the events to all who care to listen. You do this at home too. It is quite a riot!
Your two favorite other kids at the moment are Stella and Paul. They say your are a tight threesome and love to play together.
I love you bunches and bunches my little Joshi Bockers!
