Zo! Nu een aantal
projecten (bijna) afgerond zijn, heb ik weer wat meer tijd om af en toe een
blog te schrijven. Volgende keer een wat meer in-depth onderwerp, maar nu eerst:
Kids Quotes!
In de afgelopen
maanden heb ik weer quotes verzameld van de kinderen (nu 5 en 3) en deel ik weer
de leukste en meest interessante (vooral taalgerelateerde) quotes. Voor wat
meer achtergrondinformatie over dit proces en een hoop meer quotes, zie ook
Kids Quotes #1, #2
en #3.
Enjoy!

doing, he explained it was a low machine to make people lower.
