Baby steps

Today I was trying to explain to my 5 year old cousin why it was that her newborn sister could not walk yet. It takes a long time even to get to the point of taking baby steps, I was telling her. Usually around the 1 year birthday.

Never am I more aware of how bad my Icelandic is then when I talk to a child, and they go "ha?" at every other word.

It may not be a confidence booster, but anyhow, it was a priceless little conversation, had by the way while she was going poopie. Perhaps this distraction cut down on her comprehension skills.
