We know for sure our girl understands both our languages. Whether Mommy asks “Gib Mama ein Küsschen auf die Wange” or Daddy requests “Donne un bisou à papa”, she knows we are asking for a kiss on the cheek (and we usually get it, unless she’s crying or really occupied).
For some reasons, her Dad has taken to use a few words in German only. Don’t ask me why, his German is rudimentary, though he has made great progress in comprehension over the past 17 months or so. 😉
Anyway, we both refer to the baby bathtub (and the ritual) as “Badewanne”.
These days, when we mention it, we get a joyous cry as a result, and a little girl running towards the bathroom. Two days ago, Daddy asked if she wanted her “bain”. No reaction. So today we tried again: He asked her if she wanted her “bain”, then clarified with “baignoire”. But it was only when he said “Badewanne” that she smiled and went off in search of the bathtub.
