Last Saturday was THE DAY, ladies and gentlemen. German exam in the morning and performance for Kölner Musiknacht at night. I was going to have to be away from my Liam at least 7 hours, and his bottle drinking skills were not yet perfected. Aiiiyeee!
Well, luckily Jeremy the Superdad tricked the boy into drinking a relatively large amount that day. The exam? Not so bad, if I do say so myself--- But this exam was very serious business. You had to hand over all cell phones and of course no use of dictionaries was allowed. It covered all 4 aspects of language fluency: reading comprehension, selective listening, writing (we had to write an essay) and speaking in formal and informal situations. The last part was recorded on CASSETTE TAPE! They did let me pump during the break--- even if it was a little embarrassing to ask the examiner, it made me much more comfortable... Jeremy, Liam, and I met up at the train station where we booked a trip to Dresden for next weekend (!!), and then we all went to the performance space. I kept trying to feed the little guy, but everything was too exciting for him. He watched the dress rehearsal without making a peep-- perhaps it's not surprising but the boy loves him some live music.
Here's what happened last week:
And this is from today! This is the third time---I was too slow with the camera the first two times.
