My good friend Dave and his wife Eva paid us a visit yesterday. I don't get to see them all that often anymore as they live in Vienna, Austria. So it was nice to have them over for the evening to hang out as they are spending the summer over here visiting family and such.
They have a son that is only a month younger than Kylie so it worked out really well for them to get to play together. The only setback was that at (nearly) 3, neither of them is quite yet perfect when it comes to communication, and when you throw in the fact that Samuel is bilingual and speaks German as often as English, it made for some interesting moments.
Kylie was very confused at times and would ask why Samuel had said (X) where (X) was the closest sounding English word she knew to whatever he had said in German. He would yell "HABEN" when he wanted to have a toy from Kylie, but she made up for that by bossing him around as she is known to do.
We all had a good time and the kids seemed to as well. Next time we'll have to drop by their house. You know, when we're in the neighborhood.
