Early English Language Output

Over the last month, we have seen quite a bit of "English" emerge in our kids speech, especially Diana's.  First to be heard are ready-made phrases, but now we occasionally hear an attempt on a self-constructed sentence.  These are pretty basic, and often amusing.

The event of this weekend has been getting about 25 cm of snow, which is just enough to go sledding in.  While we have gone several times to the local school, were they have nice cleared hills, much of the sledding is in our yard.  Our yard has a few flattish areas, but also some trails that go careening off into the woods, on some pretty steep trails.

This afternoon I went to check on the kids.  Diana ran up to me, smiling and giggling.  She than froze in serious thought, looked in the face in her best, "am I saying this right" expression, and said in a halting manner:  Papa!  Me ouch... sled.... tree!
