Little Ears

I have recently had two reminders that not only does my daughter understand every single word I say but she listens too.

On Sunday Adrian and I had a minor argument in front of the kids (something we have never done before) - it ended with me telling him to shut up as he walked out the room, only for a little voice to go floating after him saying 'shut up, Daddy'. Great.

And then this morning. It has been suggested at her playgroup that Freyja and her friend Ruby need to mingle a little more. I have been discussing this with Adrian and a few friends over the last few days. Then this morning when I asked Freyja what she was going to do in playgroup today, she informed me that she wasn't allowed to play with Ruby and she had to make new friends. Arrrggghhh.

I prefer "clearly and concisely being able to state our diametrically opposite positions whilst maintaining a dignified speech pattern devant les enfants" to "argument".

But yes, all of the above :)

We had some German friends over for a few days and they have two children about the same age as yours.

The older speaking one obviously only speaks German and he was very confused. He asked his mum, "why are you talking about me all of the time"?

Back home his parents, he'd figured out, speak in English when they want to talk about him without him understanding. And now he thought we were all doing it!
