Month: May 2012

That will teach me…

Sonja: “When I was a kid the toilets didn’t flush by themselves (too early).”
Leilani “Yes and in the stone age there were no toiletts and they had to dig holes. Behind the trees…”
(but she said it pretty innocently and did not roll her eyes, at least not that I noticed.)

And completely unrelated but worth mentioning: Leilani just finished a 117 page chapter book, read silently, at least most of it. Sometimes she needs to whisper a word to herself…

Zitat der Woche

Leilani singt zu unserem Surinam-Kirschen Baum:

Blueh, Baumchen blueh!
Der Bauer und die … – …. – …. – Kueh!

[sorry, does not translate]

Silent Reading

A new milestone: Leilani can read while she is eating. While that in itself is not a very desirable goal, it proves the point that she does not need to mouth the words she is reading anymore.
At the moment she is reading pretty simple, German texts, but I’m sure English and regular texts are soon to follow.
