Questions…

Leilani asks a lot of questions. I already mentioned the premature “Why?”, which btw. never went away, but is not a prevalent anymore. Maybe 3, 4 why’s a day now, all of them appropriate. On most other question however Leilani ommits the asking word – So she asks “… are you?” instead of “Where are you?” or in German “[Wo] bist du?”, another one “[Was ist] das da?” “… this here?” instead of “What is this here?”.

Recently she is able to answer more and more complex questions: Andy asked “Guess who is coming over this morning?” and Leilani immediately blurted “Jaya!” (sorry Leilani, it is Aunty Maureen) – Andy and I thought that was pretty advanced, and I mentioned Leilani couldn’t answer “What’s the name of Oma’s dog?” – I tried and she answered “Mutti” – that’s what I call my mom, her Oma. Andy then rephrased the question to “What’s the name of the dog who lives at Oma’s house?” and Leilani answered correctly. “Lara”.
