baby's expressions

i'm curious where baby is getting all her favorite expressions now.

just some examples:

oh my god
oh my dear
that's a good idea
(and my favorite) whoopsie daisy

it's just so cute hearing these from her!we are not a british household, and so baby must be getting these expressions from her nursery. or maybe from some of her playmates?

her playgroup is a mini united nations - an italian-filipino girl, two french girls, a canadian girl and a south korean boy. plus a bunch of kids coming from several arab countries like lebanon and syria.

she's already added the arabic slang words "shuhada" (in tagalog, ano ba yan? sorry, i can't find a proper english translation!) and "kalas" (finish) to her vocabulary.

and her deutsch has improved a lot after a month-long holiday in germany with oma and opa.

she still has to catch up with her filipino, though.

we have a linguist in the family, and we could not be any prouder!

A Care Bears poem for January

"Happy New Year!" the Care Bears say.

This is the month the Care Bears play

in fluffy piles of crystal snow

... sparkling in the sun's pale glow.

They glide! They slide! It's oh so nice

to skate across the silver ice!

Bears go for a toboggan ride,

then warm up by a fireside.

Inside there's cocoa in a mug--

books to read and Bears to hug.

Outside the Trees wear frozen lace.

The world's a rather fancy place.
