Conversations with Georgia: When I am old….

Georgia is fascinated with gadgets and basically anything that looks as if it may make life a little easier.  She has been impressed by the walk-in baths, the ones with the doors on the side, and fascinated by walking sticks.

G: Mummy when [...]

Conversations with Georgia: Brang the past tense of Bring

It’s amazing how Georgia’s english grammar is almost always perfect. We have never attempted to teach or explain to her why we use past tense or present tense – she seems to have picked it up perfectly.

After all, [...]

We were on our way to the Rogiet train station when we had this conversation.

Conversations with Georgia: Who body else?

The conversation about who else goes to gymnastics. It goes along the lines of…
G: And Anwen will be there, and Shirley will be there.
G: Mummy, who body else will be there?
Interestingly – if you stop to think about it, ‘who body else’ does make sense if it follows on from the ‘Anybody else?’ question.

Conversations with Georgia: Quatre or Cut

Listening to our French CD – Salut Serge in the car, we have learnt to count along in French.
“Un, deux, trois… “and Georgia automatically says ‘Quatre’.
G: Mummy, what is Quatre?
Me: Quatre is four – one two three four
G: No, cut is blood!
The joys of being multi-lingual!
