The climbing gym 2nd time

I took Katja to the climbing gym again. It is really fun to watch her. She gives it good effort. This time she really wanted to use chalk. It is really hard to belay your daughter and take photos.

New family car

The time has come to look for a new car. I was out with Katja running some errands. We passed by this truck which of her own volition she pointed out to me.

And when your kid prays for you

It is really a humbling thing when your kid prays for you. I hope it doesn’t stop or become the mundane. It was really awesome and really quite unbelievable to hear Katja pray for me and mommy.

Color terms

I’m not really sure how my daughter started to learn color terms. How does one learn that the word is not a noun (the name of the object) and is the name of a color?

At the coast with cousins

My brother and family visited from Portland. We made a day of it at the Oregon coast. Hugh and Katja on the Oregon coast. Snazzy.

Leaving Basel

Learning to carry water

Katja has been learning to Cary water. She has ample opportunity as we don’t have running water in our house and we have ample examples on how to do it.
