Our fun-loving Francis turned 4 years old on Easter Monday!
He is weeks away from finishing his first year of Kindergarten (pre-school), all in German, of course, and he's speaking a lot of German! We hear way more from him compared to what we heard from Ellie during her first year of school. A lot of his "play words" he'll speak in German - or with a German accent - at home. He always seems to be trying out a new word or phrase and then asking Ellie if that's right (or she'll just jump in and correct him :) Polizei (police) and Pirat (pirat) are among his favorite words for make-believe games. He's very into swords and weapons and using sticks as such. His go-to position is still sucking his thumb while pulling on his opposite ear (doesn't matter which thumb/ear). He currently wants to a be a priest (after he's an altar boy and a bishop) or a kebab maker when he grows up. He's a wonderful middle child - loves playing with his older sister and his kind to his rascally little brother. And he loves any alone time he gets with mom or dad to play, read, or snuggle!

Posing by his birthday signs that Ellie made - as he called them correctly in German: Herz (heart) and Polizei (police).
We love you, Buddy!!
