Banana Tree

June 9th, 2010 by ninja

1 – While trying to fall asleep for his nap, Tobin got distracted by a bundle of bananas sticking out the top of my stroller bag:

“Warum hat die Banane ein bischen Holz da oben? Vielleicht … die Banane kommt von einem BAUM, Mami?” (Why does the banana have a little bit of wood up there? Maybe … the banana is coming from a TREE, Mami? )

2 – Sung is coming back home with a fresh haircut … and different styling. Tobin’s comment as he walks through the door:

“You look different person, Daddy!”

3 – Tobin is popping up from the bedroom 10 minutes after we said (and kissed) both kids good night:

“Mami, ich habe meinen Kuss verloren! … Daddy, I lost my kiss!”

    Thanks, Jeeun. Half the credit goes to Tobin: i was a lot more consistent talking German to him than i was with Mika, but he never had problems consciously identifying each language either. In the past two months, his active English exploded as well and now he can easily switch back and forth between both. It will be a lot of work to keep it up though, once both kids are enrolled in English speaking schools this September…
