Turmstraßenfest and Umlauts

Last weekend was the annual "Turmstraßenfest", and it was Oscar's first experience being old enough to go on the rides!





We also took a break from the rides to go to the newest playground in our neighbourhood:



This evening while I was singing to Oscar:

Chris: Zwischen Berg und tiefen, tiefen Tal saßen eins zwei Hasen
Fressen an das grune, grune Gras...
Clara: Fraßen AB!
Chris: Fressen ab das grune, grune Gras...
Clara: das GRÜNE GRÜNE Gras!
Chris: Fressen ab das grune, grune Gras...
Clara: No!  It's grüne, not grune.
Chris: What?
Clara: grüne, not grune.
Chris: Sorry, those sound exactly the same to me, I can't hear the umlaut.
Clara: What's an umlaut?

Here's our cheeky sweetie getting ready for a wedding party last weekend:


She danced the night away with Tanja while Oscar and I went home early.  She had two nights in a row of staying up at parties and going to bed at about 11 pm, and we didn't even have any fusses the next mornings!
