I am learning lots and lots at kindergarten, and each day I come home speaking more German. Yesterday a man came to visit us, he is from the company that is going to help us move all our boxes and furniture to Basel. Mama and Dada were explaining to him that their German is not very good. But I ran over and said "mein Deutsch ist soooo gut!" Everyone laughed when I said that, but I don't really see what was so funny.

I'm moving!
Well, we have some big news. We are leaving Bonn! :-(
But it is not so sad, because we are moving to Switzerland! :-) Yay!
Dada has a new job there, in a city called Basel, and we went there on the weekend to see what it is like.
This is a picture of me and Dada outside his new office. Funny shape for an office hey?
Basel is very interesting, it is on the Rhine like Bonn, but it is on the border of two other countries - France and Germany. We actually stayed in France when we visited, and we WALKED over the border to Switzerland. Very funny.
I am very excited about moving, so much so that I told my kindergarten teacher that I was going to live in Basel. That made Mama and Dada embarrassed because they hadn't told kindy yet, they were hoping to wait a little while before they let them know.
Dada has to start work on the 9th of October, but Mama and me are going to stay in Bonn a bit longer, so that Mama can finish some German lessons she is taking and I can spend more time (and learn more German) at my fun kindergarten. They speak German in Basel too, but it sounds kind of different.

Elephant park
There were so many things I liked about Basel. I said that it was much prettier there, with more flowers and more trees. I also said that there were more motorbikes, and Mama and Dada think I might be right. On the weekend I was already calling Bonn "where I used to live."
Anyway, I LOVED this park with the big elephant in it. You can climb all over it, even the tusks.

Father's day
It was Father's day while we were in Switzerland. I was SO excited about it. I painted this mug especially for Dada as a present. And I also picked him a pink and purple tie (because he has to wear them in his new job). The day we bought the tie I tried to tell Dada as soon as he got home, but Mama stopped me, she said we had to keep it a secret because it was a surprise. Each day I would ask "is it Father's day yet?" Then I got thinking about whether there was a Mother's Day. I decided it would be Little Girl's day soon too.
Danyel
While we're catching up on news, Mama's cousin Danyel came to visit a couple of weeks ago. She is travelling around Europe and she stopped in Bonn to say hello to us. I had lots of fun with her, she was like my new best friend, and she played with me lots while Mama and Dada talked a lot about moving and looked up lots of things on the computer about Basel!
