Andy found a pink sit-on-top truck (or car?) for Leilani at a thrift store. I tried some weak objections, but was overruled by his enthusiasm. A few weeks before that I had gone off against battery operated toys on the blog – but of course the truck’s main purpose was as a riding toy. And Leilani was only 6 months then. Waaaayyyy too young. I figured she’d be a year or so, but last week she discovered it next to the clothesline and wanted to know what it was. I sat her on top, and she immediately found all the levers and buttons, so I cleaned it and brought it upstairs. She needs to be watched all the time when on the truck, because she can’t get off (tried, fallen, but not cried).
A little crash course in German baby talk:
| Winke Winke | Wave |
| Super | Good job |
| So schoen machst du das! | Nicely done! |
| so schoen… | So nicely… |
| …spielst Du mit deinem Lastwagen | …are you playing with your truck |
| Brrm Brrm machen | Make brrm brrm noise |
| Gas geben | Give it gas (throttle) |
