It turns out that the nuts Gustav collected in the woods a few days ago actually aren't edible. He gave me one while he was eating some of the nuts that he already had sitting at home, and it was horrible! I don't think it's necessarily poisonous/fatal, but it's definitely something you don't want to eat. I have no doubts that if I had actually eaten it I would've felt sick before the end of the night. It looks almost identical to the ones Gustav's been eating, but it's a little bigger and the shell is a little shinier. I had to try to explain to Gustav which ones he can't eat and why. That was interesting, but he then explained it to Pauline, so at least I know that he definitely understands.
Earlier today while I was playing with the kids in the living room, Gustav accidentally pulled my shirt down. A few minutes later, he pretended to stab me with a stick and told me I was dead, so I closed my eyes and pretended to be dead. While my eyes were closed, he tried pulling down my shirt again! I told him to stop and asked him why he was doing that, and he said "Ich will die sehen!" ("I want to see them!") He's 4!!! Almost 4! I was laughing, but at the same time I was shocked. It's something that I could definitely see Olaf laughing at if he had heard Gustav say that.
The cutest thing ever just happened. Pauline was crying in her bed for whatever reason, and when Esther went in to check on her, Pauline decided that she needed to say goodnight to everyone. So she came over and knocked on my door so she could say goodnight to me. She opened the door and came in, said "Gute Nacht," and then came over and gave me a kiss. So precious!!! And Amelie's sleeping in my room again, too. I'm so glad that this family likes me.
