Leaving

It is final - after 3 1/2 years in the UK and 4 1/2 years in The Netherlands before that we are going to move back to Germany. Although our three kids are bilingual English clearly is their first language. I am watching our youngest (2 1/2 - born in UK) flipping through a list of animal pictures on the iPad and naming them - in English - unaware that in three weeks time all the knowledge he has worked so hard to acquire will be obsolete. A very sad moment.
