You soak in it, splash around and play in it with a rubber ducky. You can also drink from it, preferrably milk, or soymilk. It also flies through the air going twiet twiet twiet. And finally, its the place one uses as a toilet? <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a Badi. That&#8217;s what it sounds like to us at least. &#8220;Badi&#8221; is german babytalk for a bath. &#8220;Botti&#8221; is a bottle. &#8220;Boadi&#8221; is a birdie, most likely followed by twiet twiet. And &#8220;Potty&#8221; is a very urgent matter, and better not misunderstood and discussed for a long time (yes Leilani finally reports having to pee too!! Sometimes). Unfortunately I&#8217;m not a good role model for keeping &#8220;P&#8221; and &#8220;B&#8221; appart, or &#8220;T&#8221; and &#8220;D&#8221;, or &#8220;V&#8221; and &#8220;W&#8221; and the &#8220;R&#8221; is swallowed into an &#8220;A&#8221; like sound. <\/p>\n<p>Beer and Bear is another one. I&#8217;m actually not that happy she says beer at all, but it sure is funny. She saw someone drinking from a beer like bottle at the airport and went &#8220;BEEEER!!!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Also &#8220;Wischi&#8221; (wipe one&#8217;s mouth, german babytalk) and &#8220;Fishi&#8221; are hard to tell appart by sound, but mostly the context makes it clear.<\/p>\n<p>Other recent words are &#8220;Buch&#8221; (german book) &#8220;Sitzi&#8221; (german sit), &#8220;Momo&#8221; (monkey), &#8220;Apple&#8221; (any remotely round fruit) &#8220;Hei-Hei&#8221; (german Night-night), &#8220;Ducky&#8221; &#8220;Jesus&#8221;, &#8220;Sus&#8221; (shoes), &#8220;leaf&#8221;, &#8220;Apa&#8221; (open), &#8220;Moon&#8221;  and her new favorite &#8220;No&#8221;. There are also a few new animals sounds, she does the elephant better than I do, and says Mooo for the cow, <\/p>\n<p>It seems she tacks on an &#8220;i&#8221; at the end of a lot of words, which I heard a lot of german speaking babies do, and I wonder if I inadvertantly encourage this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A riddle, what is this?
