Word of the Dag (Day)

Leah teaches me a new Flemish word daily, today’s word was boekentas (book-n-toss) which means backpack (or bookbag, more precisely).

It’s Leah's birthday today. When I picked her up at school I asked one of her English-speaking classmates how to say Happy Birthday in Dutch. She kept repeating it to me and I kept repeating it back, eliciting peals of laughter from all the children. I hope they don’t think Leah’s mom is crazy.
