So, a few days ago, when Eva went outside to dump some water on our bamboo plant, Quinn closed the door behind her and lifted the handle...locking Eva outside. If you know how German windows/doors work, this wouldn't seem to be a problem with a 2 year old.
...but Quinn locked her out of the house. No keys, no shoes, and wearing only jeans and a t-shirt...in 32F / 0C weather. Eva tried to show Quinn how to open the door. After a while, Quinn figured out that Mama was locked out, and climbed on his high chair. Then, he stood up on the chair (which he is never allowed to do), and he raised his hands above his hands in triumph: Mama, I'm standing on my chair, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Thankfully, our neighbor that had a key was home and could let Eva in.
On a slightly other note...this time in the language department. While Quinn's vocabulary is mostly German (he understands both languages equally well), there are a few words that he uses mostly in English, e.g. Chicken. Another of his favorites is 'Hot Dog'.
A few days ago, I mentioned the word 'Hot Dog'...and Quinn said 'Heißer Hund' back...which is the literal German translation of Hot Dog. Seems kinda cool yet odd...and it did make me chuckle a bit.
...I'll get to the Christmas post soon...
