Nein!

October 2nd, 2008 by ninja

Tobin has been sneaking in some language skills over the past months. His ‘mama‘ and ‘dada’ come pretty consistently (and assigned to the right parent). He also says ‘ba…’ for Ball (ball), ‘nana’ for banana, and asks for another round of the game ‘Hoppe Hoppe Reiter’ by saying ‘hopa-hopa’ and hopping on my lap.

Tonight he unlocked the next power level though: a clear ‘nein!’ (no!), accompanied by shaking his head, ended dinner. I tried to capture it in the movie clip above, but the original statement was a lot more straightforward…

It looks like we have another German speaker in the house soon. Mika has requested for me to speak even more German to her too, so she can improve along with him…
