We have strong reason to believe that somehow, somewhere our boy is beginning to speak German. That is really strange because none of us can speak German. Well Pete and I did take a couple of French classes in the university, but German is totally our of our league. Anyway, Ethan has been saying “Ja ja ja..” very often nowadays. “Ja” in German means “yes”.
Me: Do you know where we are going now?
Ethan: Ja!
Me: Yes, we are heading for Queensbay Mall for dinner!
Ethan: Ja! Ja!
Hmmm……I must start teaching him how to say “Ich liebe Dich, Mommy!” soon
