I did another “first” today-I helped chaperon a Forest Field trip for 16 four & five year old children. I have never had the guts to help chaperon either of my child’s field trips. However, I LOVE THE FORESTS here in Stuttgart, so it was the perfect time to get "over it" and put on a "Chaperon hat".
The Forest was spectacular today and so were the children. It also turned out to be a very interesting German lesson. I am not sure why some of Cooper’s friends spoke to me in German, unless maybe they thought my German was funny and wanted to hear more. Either way, I learned some of my best German words from the children today:
der Adler (Eagle)
Push mich auf (push me on…) heard this MANY times as I pushed everyone on the swing.
And the word kids of all countries seem to know in their language (and all burst out laughing when an adult repeats without knowing what ‘she’ is saying)---die Kacke (poo-poo)
