now he knows some terms both in english and german, like airplane and flugzeug. or both in tagalog and german, like labas and raus or bihis and anziehen (during those times that he bugs mommy to go out).

Plus, when we're off to HL she says "shopping" as soon as I make the turn to the main street (without me telling her where were gonna go)---good post! nag-reminisce tuloy akong bigla.
