Day: May 15, 2007

Leilani was at the restaurant today. She saw the ice cream counter and yelled “Eis essen, Eis essen…!!!” (“Eat ice cream”)

We told her first was Pizza – then she yelled (even louder) “Pizza essen!!” (“Eat pizza”) I told her it was not ready, not to yell into my ear and to complain to the waitress. When we walked by the waitress Leilani yelled (at her) “Bringen!!! Pizza essen!!!” (“Bring! Eat Pizza”)

Aside from showing hunger and impatience, I think it also shows pretty advanced understanding, and great German. Oh, and I guess there is something new about her eating habits too… we’ll try to reverse that trend back home…

Leilani was standing in the middle of the living room, crying loudly. I ran in and asked “Leilani, what’s going on?” Leilani looked at me, tears welling up in her eys and said “Crying!!!”

For the German readers the untranslated version:
Leilani steht im Wohnzimmer und weint laut, Mama stuerzt herein und fragt besorgt: “Leilani was ist denn los?” Mit Traenen in den Augen antwortet Leilani “Weinen!!!!”

Aua, mein Fuss!
Ouwie, my foot!

Lass mich schauen!
Let me see!

Hmmm… Ich denke das muessen wir eingipsen…
Hmmm. We’ll probably have to put a cast on…
