Oh my god i can't. That's a cuteness overload. I mean look at her with her big smile, her beanie and her backpack ♥ Can imagine how excited and proud you guys were.
Can't wait for part 2. The Eingewöhnung is so important for the smooth transition... ...from a "I got my child at home" parent to a "my child is in the Kita" parent. But you will make it. I know times are hard and tears will come but you get your daughter back every afternoon. Stay strong 😏
I can remember dropping my daughter off in kindergarten for the first day that she would be there without me…. I cried all the way home. That was 25 years ago, it’s something you’ll never forget but she loved every minute of her time there. Good luck Willa!
Die kleine Prinzessin ist so Süss 💓💓💓ich freue mich das sie so gerne in die Kita geht ,es ist wichtig für das spätere Leben ,der Kontakt zu anderen Kindern ist immer gut ! Zusammen spielen und lernen ist gut für das Selbstbewusstsein! Ich freue mich auf das nächste Video!
We where living in Spain when our daughter was Willas age. Sadly they didn´t have a transition time then (more than 20 years ago) Starting with a few hours per day/five days per week; she did well and she learned Spanish in no time at all. And she loved the ladies working there. Willa will have a great time!
That’s what we are hoping can happen with Willa! It’s so fun to hear that she had a great time. That’s what we hope the most for her is to enjoy it and make some friends and memories.
Willa is the definition of a cute kid. She'll love the new environment to explore, learn and socialize and you'll be surprised how quick she's gonna adapt and feel like a native German speaking kid. It's amazing how quick children pick up languages
How exciting for Wila! I really don't recall my first day in KiTa but my mom always tells the story of how "Eingewöhnung" wasn't necessary at all with me but that I immediately immersed myself into the room and played along with other children, the nursery teacher were like "seems like you can go now" after like 10 minutes which kind of broke her heart and were a big relieve at the same time :D Hope Wila has a great experience! I personally worked in a Kindergarten for some time (in a Spanish speaking country though) and there was a little boy who did not speak the language (he was from the US as well) which made him be a bit anxious and timid because he did not feel like being able to connect with the children in his class, maybe there is a teacher who speaks English such that Wila has someone to turn to, to communicate her needs in English if necessary, I know that was of extreme comfort for this little boy who after a few weeks became more and more confident and really began to blossom!
Willa has been a bit more timid than we expected, but just like your story she’s starting to feel more comfortable. 😊 Thank you for all of your well wishes! ❤️
I´m convinced in that moment when Willa is entering the Kita room the sun will shine way brighter in there. She is simply that adorable. By the way "Kita" is the acronym for "Kinder Tagesstätte" which literally translated means "Children´s Day-place/site"
You could give the Turkish yoghurt offerings available here in Germany a try. There's also Ayran which is a light Turkish yoghurt drink you might like. There's lots of Greek yoghurts on sale in Germany, which I think you already might be familiar with from the US. You could check out Bulgaria yoghurt which is more solid. To be honest though, for the real German expirience, you should try Quark and the many ways to eat and prepare it.
@@OurStorytoTell Standard German Dish (also easy to make): boiled potatos (boil them with the skin) and Quark (mixed with herbs, naturally). You should try it, if for no other reason than having a dish you can make whenever you need something easy and fast.
When i had to drop my daughter off at Kita for the first time on her own, the teacher looked at me being hurt as hell and told me that the "Eingewöhnung" is as important for the parents as it is for the kids. :-D So True! But, don't worry, she is going to have great time there and very soon, dropping her off is going to feel a lot better!
I'm a childminder ( assistante maternelle agréée) in France ( Tagesmutter in Germany) and I agree Eingewöhnung ( adaptation) is very important for the kid but even more for the parents !
@@OurStorytoTell In the end it is all about trust and faith. The adaption time shows the parents that they can trust the Kita. So the parents feel giving their child to a trustworthy facility. This feeling will skip to the child. It is more a mental thing than a verbalized one. Willa will feel that there is no cause for alarm because she'll be able to sense your faith.
Willa look so cute with her rucksak beenie on all ready for her new adventure 🥰 Looking forward to to hear how she got on & And mummy too 😜🥰. Take care
Looking forward to part 2 and the coming videos. That's so great that she was able to get in sooner. I am sure she will learn German fast and make friends in no time, she is so cute.
Hey guys, I am actually a Kindergarten teacher, so called "Erzieherin" and it's such a joy to hear and see how Willa is looking forward to go there on her first day!! 😊 It is really funny, cause the english word Kindergarten is actually the same in german 😅🤩
Oh, after your first road trip with a "Kinderlieder" session for 6h straight, your German will improve. I can remember my father once thought about backing the tape player in our car on a trip from Berlin to Konstanz as he could no longer listen to my tape I loved to sing along
Kita and Kindergarten (children garden ) is the greatest Time Eva for the Kids. Friends,Toys, nice supervisors. I still look back on it with joy.This will be great for Willa
You will appreciate the time she is in kindergarten.. I used it to do grocery shopping, cleaning and washing and food/dinner prep.. Then I had pure quality time with my kids when they were with me, just having fun🤗 and didn't haven't to do mundane chores parallel to trying to spending time with them... It was lovely. We went out, did crafts etc and I wasn't stressing about all the chores that needed doing because they were done😁.... You will get used to it and enjoy it with time🤗
0:40 Willa already has a better pronunciation than you in German! You say "Kida", but she says "KiTa" correctly with a "T". Sorry, Risa, this point goes to Willa.
I was really getting excited for you guys while watching the video and then you leave us with the cliffhanger ending... 😉 There's going to be tough days but I'm absolutely certain that you're making the right decision by getting her into a KITA. You'll be amazed at how quickly she picks up German. I've witnessed it a few times with immigrant children at my kids' KITA. They went from zero German to fluent during their time there. Also, you'll surely experience a couple new German traditions like a Martinsumzug while she's visiting the KITA. Can't wait for part two.
Wow, Willa with a backpack, she looks already so "old". I cross fingers that she will find friends to play with and enjoy it very much. Dont worry, for such young kids the language isnt really an obstacle. She will be in good hands for sure and the teachers will take care about her. Well Risa, now time starts not having your baby always around and this free time can be filled with doing something else. You will find out thats nice too. To all of you, enjoy your new experiences with her next part in life, it will be exciting. I always love and laugh to see these mices going for a walk outside. How easy it is to keep these bunch of fleas in one line on a boardwalk. Just take a rope and every kid has to hold on and they will make a long line together :-D

Meine Nichte hat ihre Mama am dritten Tag mit einem energischen "Tschüß" nach draussen geschoben. War aber gerne bereit, sich am Nachmittag abholen zu lassen.
Das gibt einen Sketch mit der Martina Hill dazu. Die "Knallerfrau" klammert sich verzweifelt an ihre Tochter und will einfach nicht gehen. Die Erzieherin beruhigt sie und meint schon sehr resigniert, dass es vielleicht morgen klappen könnte.
Oh that little rucksack…! I haven’t even got children and I‘m choking up at Willa starting Kita. She’s going to absolutely love it. And she‘ll be able to tell you lots of interesting things for your channel. (I’m trying to make the best of it here 🤗)
Oh mein Gott, eure Kleine ist sooooo zuckersüss. 🥰 Tell me what you want, Willa has her Dads smile . Beautiful Mom, don`t be sad, this is the first moment, to see how fast our babies grow. We all know that. 👍🌷
Oh how exciting for Willa (and y'all)!! She will do fantastic I'm sure! I'm learning so much about German culture. Thanks for sharing your adventures ❤️
I visited an English kindergarden in Oman and couldn’t speak a word English. I learned it so quickly! Kids are so fast in learning a different language. And so fast in making new friends. She will have fun. The hard part is for parents to let go. :-)
It's a big step for the little one. Until now she is close with mom and dad, but in KITA she will get to know a new world and other children. Surely they will soon like to go there to play with the others, sing and learn simple tasks. Counting on your fingers, knowing the days of the week or walking safely on the pedestrians way and safely crossing a street with a group of children are also goals. But also light a candle and watching out that nothing happens. And later she will be prepared for school. And the good thing is mom gets more time to learn languages.
The 1.5 litres Landliebe frische Landmilch in a tetra pak is actually organic, but they are not willing to pay for the stamp that declares that. They want to stay as cheap as humanly possible for the consumer without being greedy to milk farmers. Something like that.
Uhm - not quite. They feed without GM crop, but they are very likely to buy food from elsewhere - and nowhere do they say that that food is organic. They pay fair prices to farmers (that is what they claim) - and cows are treated with more space for cows - but organic is stricter than that.
It was so hard to get our 5-year-old into a Kindergarten here in Leipzig - it took us about 5 months to get her started - and then the day she was supposed to start they closed due to Covid cases! We're still waiting, but hopefully next week she can start. I'm not a fan of Eingewöhnung in our particular case - our daughter spent 3 years in preschools in the States and is ready to go! (She's also the youngest of 4, so as parents we're completely ready.)
Wow, that’s unfortunate timing! Hopefully things can open up again soon so she can get started enjoying time with other kids. We can imagine that with her being the youngest you are ready for her to start going! You’ll have to keep us posted on how things go once she starts kindergarten.
The good thing about her going to Kita that early is that she will learn German now effortlessly. That is the reason why they offer it that early. You are not the only family from a non-German speaking background. So if kids learn German early on despite their parents being non-native speakers, it makes it easier for them to be successful at school.
Willa has such interesting facial expressions for her age. I am surprised about how she always takes things very appropriately not too fast or too much very intelligent little girl.
Hopefully normal live comes back a.s.a.p. - then it will be a wonderful experience for all! I remeber bringing my elder daughter Simona to the Kita - no problem at all. My younger daughter Adriana 2 years later cried eyery morning when I left her, although her sister was there and she knew all before she even went officially - in the end she made it and she really was one of the cleverest there, but nobody knew why she always cried for the first few minutes.... ✊ Willa 💖✊
My oldest did cry the first few minutes very dramatic with reaching out of the window- for nearly *three* years😳 she was fine as soon as I was out of sight. She also had problems adjusting to different parts of the play day but only in the beginning. She still loved going to Kindergarten.
It’s good to hear these comments because we have had a couple hard goodbyes! You’ll see in the next video, but we are confident it’s the best thing for her! 😊❤️
For the price of the public daycare, you have to know that usually the price for the parents is about 1/3 of the real cost. The rest is covered by taxes (which americans usually don't like ;) )
From the looks of the windows blinds I guess you are in Bavaria right now. In some states Kita and Kindergarden are free for all. If not (e.g. Bavaria, Lower Saxony) the fee depends on your household income. But as the tax tarifs haven’t been adjusted for ages, nowadays everybody with a decent job pays full (approx. 300-400€/Month) and from year 3 onwards it is free almost everywhere.
Willa has the very best age to learn a new language.I have been working in a german Kita for many years.Many children from different countries ...and the experience is: at the age of 2 years its so easy ....day by day . New words...new sentences. Willa says: Ki T a very german😉👍
Well, first day Kita. The mother stand there crying, the child storms in and forget that mommy exists!😪 Funtime! An hour later you try to pick up your child it refuses to go. The next hour every five minutes you look at your phone...do I have to pick it up? Eingewöhnung... mostly for the mommy to let go.😇 We all where there it's not easy, but finally you will like it. The daughter of my nice 7 years old, when her mother told her that quarantine was over, she packed immediately her schoolbag and said: Thank god its over! My nice was a little bit offended! 🤣😅
@@OurStorytoTell it can be different in your region, and it could also depend on the parents income. I am not sure Sinne i dont have a child i just know it from my friend who has two kids over 3
i am not a complete environment freak, but for such young kid i'd choose very carefully the lunchbox for it's plastic quality. There are differences. It should at least have a CE sign, certified by the EU. Stichwort: Weichmacher etc. just a thought.
@@OurStorytoTell gerne. I thought about it cause the food is storaged in it for hours and probably used on a daily basis... that's why it came to my mind.. plastic boxes should be without BPA... that's the key. there are good boxex available from 10 € up. Good luck
Hi, I am following your videos from long time, can you answer me about daycare? Did you wait for Kid for 3 years to send her to school? My family from in-laws side push me to send my son to daycare a lot. I made them to wait till 2 years. But now I need to send at 2. He is still breastfeeding. I am living in Germany and me and my husband does work from home. We are managing kid well as of now. But I am worried to send him to daycare from September when he will be 2 year old. I am checking for Krippe for my 18 months old son, to join him when he will be 2 year old in September. We are able to take care of him at home. But what do you suggest to join him now or wait for an other year? I wish my comment gets unnoticed. Thanks. Wish you continue during the content. Parenting is joy but a great mutual responsibility
Hello, thanks for asking. It was difficult to send our first daughter to Krippe at 2 years old. But, we think it was a good transition for her to get to know the other kids when she moved to the older class at 3. Either way, it really depends on how your child feels about being away from home. There is nothing wrong with holding out if you feel like they need (or you need) more time with them at home. Trust your instinct on what you think is best, but ultimately they will do great either way.
Thanks David! You do have a good point, but we aren’t sure when we will be leaving Germany so we want her to have as many opportunities to experience different cultures and languages as she can. Obviously if we were leaving next year it might not make sense, but we would still probably want to take advantage of the bonding experience as long as we could.

Ohh Ohh I think Villa is a Child who in a view days go to Kindergarten and say good by to her Mother and goes into wothput look back to her Mother. An Her Mother is standing and has water in the eyes. Ich bin gespannt wie es wird.
I like your videos. You are such a sweet family. But one thing is concerning me. You guys have to watch what your baby is eating. With sweet stuff and pork meat and so. Is she eating fruits and vegetables? Gluten and milky stuff is not so good to eat. And try to have an eye on clean hands. Babys tend to put everything in their mouth. Bacteria and viruses are not that great to have in your system. Just a hint. I love your videos though. They are great. :)

Yes she has already been exposed so much! It’s crazy how fast she is learning! Thanks for your comment Jens!
The 1.5 litres Landliebe frische Landmilch in a tetra pak is actually organic, but they are not willing to pay for the stamp that declares that.
They want to stay as cheap as humanly possible for the consumer without being greedy to milk farmers.
Something like that.
Uhm - not quite. They feed without GM crop, but they are very likely to buy food from elsewhere - and nowhere do they say that that food is organic. They pay fair prices to farmers (that is what they claim) - and cows are treated with more space for cows - but organic is stricter than that.
@@franhunne8929 Then I was wrong and perhaps it was Bio Gütesiegel or something?
She's such a little angel 😍 I'm so excited !!
It was so hard to get our 5-year-old into a Kindergarten here in Leipzig - it took us about 5 months to get her started - and then the day she was supposed to start they closed due to Covid cases! We're still waiting, but hopefully next week she can start. I'm not a fan of Eingewöhnung in our particular case - our daughter spent 3 years in preschools in the States and is ready to go! (She's also the youngest of 4, so as parents we're completely ready.)
Wow, that’s unfortunate timing! Hopefully things can open up again soon so she can get started enjoying time with other kids. We can imagine that with her being the youngest you are ready for her to start going! You’ll have to keep us posted on how things go once she starts kindergarten.
The good thing about her going to Kita that early is that she will learn German now effortlessly. That is the reason why they offer it that early. You are not the only family from a non-German speaking background. So if kids learn German early on despite their parents being non-native speakers, it makes it easier for them to be successful at school.
God was that cute, she is ready for kita wth her cute little backpack. And she will get to know so many kids, it's gonna be awesome !
We can’t wait for you to watch part two to see! 😊
She is so adorable. She will love it, I am sure. Enjoy the time off as a mum, although it will be weird in the beginning.
Hope she makes many friends, and has so much fun in the Kita :)
Thank you ❤️
Hallo...viel Spaß in der Kita...ich bete sie vermisst ihre Mama nicht zu viel ❤🍀👋🏻
Willa has such interesting facial expressions for her age. I am surprised about how she always takes things very appropriately not too fast or too much very intelligent little girl.
She really is such an expressive girl! We love seeing her grow everyday. 😊
Hopefully normal live comes back a.s.a.p. - then it will be a wonderful experience for all!
I remeber bringing my elder daughter Simona to the Kita - no problem at all. My younger daughter Adriana 2 years later cried eyery morning when I left her, although her sister was there and she knew all before she even went officially - in the end she made it and she really was one of the cleverest there, but nobody knew why she always cried for the first few minutes.... ✊ Willa 💖✊
My oldest did cry the first few minutes very dramatic with reaching out of the window- for nearly *three* years😳 she was fine as soon as I was out of sight. She also had problems adjusting to different parts of the play day but only in the beginning. She still loved going to Kindergarten.
It’s good to hear these comments because we have had a couple hard goodbyes! You’ll see in the next video, but we are confident it’s the best thing for her! 😊❤️
I am happy if she likes it in the kindergarten is an important experience I wish you a lot of fun and many friends you little mouse.🥰🥰🥰
omg how cute she ist ,,,proud parents too.
❤️❤️
Best is you'll buy the lunchbox from EMSA or MEPAL, they don't leak as much
Leinsamen german chia seeds. Try Sanddorn - fruit or juice. Much vitamin c.
Is the box BPA-free, not harmful?
For the price of the public daycare, you have to know that usually the price for the parents is about 1/3 of the real cost. The rest is covered by taxes (which americans usually don't like ;) )
From the looks of the windows blinds I guess you are in Bavaria right now. In some states Kita and Kindergarden are free for all. If not (e.g. Bavaria, Lower Saxony) the fee depends on your household income. But as the tax tarifs haven’t been adjusted for ages, nowadays everybody with a decent job pays full (approx. 300-400€/Month) and from year 3 onwards it is free almost everywhere.
We do live in Bavaria! Thanks for the info. 😊 Where are you watching from?
Willa has the very best age to learn a new language.I have been working in a german Kita for many years.Many children from different countries ...and the experience is: at the age of 2 years its so easy ....day by day .
New words...new sentences.
Willa says: Ki T a very german😉👍
That’s awesome you work at one! We hope she will catch on fast 😊
Berchtesgadener dairy products are rhee best. So you have already chosen the right brand.
They are so tasty 😋😋
So lovely.
Wow, the cleanest TEDI I’ve ever seen, must be new.
Unser ist auch so.
She is so cute and smart 🥰
0:42 Willa is pronouncing Kita correctyl with T, so you have to learn from your little daughter 😉
Yes we will! 😊
Just have your little "señiorita" in mind while you try to pronounce Kita and you are right 😇
Well, first day Kita. The mother stand there crying, the child storms in and forget that mommy exists!😪 Funtime! An hour later you try to pick up your child it refuses to go. The next hour every five minutes you look at your phone...do I have to pick it up? Eingewöhnung... mostly for the mommy to let go.😇 We all where there it's not easy, but finally you will like it. The daughter of my nice 7 years old, when her mother told her that quarantine was over, she packed immediately her schoolbag and said: Thank god its over! My nice was a little bit offended! 🤣😅
Willa is sooooo adorable 🥳🎁🍰🎉🎊🤗👍👏💐💖💋☘️👋✨💯
In my area (Frankfurt) Kita is free from age 3 and up, you just have to pay for the food there.
Wow, good to know! Thanks for sharing!
@@OurStorytoTell it can be different in your region, and it could also depend on the parents income. I am not sure Sinne i dont have a child i just know it from my friend who has two kids over 3
the Eingewöhnung is more for the parents
That makes sense! You’ll see next video why! 😊
Buy a Schmatz Fatz Box for Willa. The best
Where can we find one? 😊
@@OurStorytoTell Amazon
You're doing the right thing. A good KITA is like cryptonite for toddlers.
We sure hope so! 😊
I ve never seen sockets attached so high at the wall, btw Im from Germany.
There’s two places to put a fridge here in our kitchen so that’s why they’re that tall. The only place in our house like that. 😊
i am not a complete environment freak, but for such young kid i'd choose very carefully the lunchbox for it's plastic quality. There are differences. It should at least have a CE sign, certified by the EU. Stichwort: Weichmacher etc. just a thought.
Thanks for letting us know! We will take a look! We also talk more about this in the next video so stay tuned on Sunday!
@@OurStorytoTell gerne. I thought about it cause the food is storaged in it for hours and probably used on a daily basis... that's why it came to my mind.. plastic boxes should be without BPA... that's the key. there are good boxex available from 10 € up. Good luck
Hello I'm new subscriber from Qatar stay safe God bless😊
Ahh yay! We love hearing where you are from. Visiting Qatar sounds amazing! How long have you lived there? Thanks for the comment & subscribing! ❤️❤️
@@OurStorytoTell actually my country Qatar amazing most
Yeah most welcome awlys dear❤🙏
I would buy a Lunchbox at Real or Kaufland. I don´t know if you have a Market like these close to you
Not super close, but we go there on occasion. Thanks :)
Hi, I am following your videos from long time, can you answer me about daycare? Did you wait for Kid for 3 years to send her to school? My family from in-laws side push me to send my son to daycare a lot. I made them to wait till 2 years. But now I need to send at 2. He is still breastfeeding. I am living in Germany and me and my husband does work from home. We are managing kid well as of now. But I am worried to send him to daycare from September when he will be 2 year old. I am checking for Krippe for my 18 months old son, to join him when he will be 2 year old in September. We are able to take care of him at home. But what do you suggest to join him now or wait for an other year? I wish my comment gets unnoticed. Thanks. Wish you continue during the content. Parenting is joy but a great mutual responsibility
Hello, thanks for asking. It was difficult to send our first daughter to Krippe at 2 years old. But, we think it was a good transition for her to get to know the other kids when she moved to the older class at 3. Either way, it really depends on how your child feels about being away from home. There is nothing wrong with holding out if you feel like they need (or you need) more time with them at home. Trust your instinct on what you think is best, but ultimately they will do great either way.
@@OurStorytoTell Thanks
And Part 2??
Coming soon!
Soo cute ..... ☺
Cute and well done. But is there a point to making Willow learn German if you aren't staying and travelling the world?
Thanks David!
You do have a good point, but we aren’t sure when we will be leaving Germany so we want her to have as many opportunities to experience different cultures and languages as she can. Obviously if we were leaving next year it might not make sense, but we would still probably want to take advantage of the bonding experience as long as we could.
Bit late for starting Kita...
Ha, in a few years you won't need the Google translator any longer, you can use the Willa translator then! 😀
We sure hope so!
0:11 Where is this place? Thanks!
It’s in the Dolomites in Italy! Incredible huh? Watch this video to see more of that area & other breathtaking views: th-cam.com/video/h5AyvdjaA9E/w-d-xo.html
i'm sorry but it looked like she was ready to go off to school on her own, unfortunately it will seem like it will be tomorrow before you know it
Do you have the necessary clothes, shoes, boots?
Yes :) watch part two to see more about that.
Ohh Ohh I think Villa is a Child who in a view days go to Kindergarten and say good by to her Mother and goes into wothput look back to her Mother. An Her Mother is standing and has water in the eyes. Ich bin gespannt wie es wird.
Just wait until Sunday! 🥺❤️
happy birtday beautyfull baby nice 😊🍀🌻
For a 2 y.o. does she look very alive and understanding. If hat goes further on you will political discussions with her when she is 6 y.o.
Not even a minute in and your 2 year old says correctly "Kita" while you slur it as if you were tipsy and say "Kida" hahaha.
You should always be on a Kita waiting list. Regardless at what point of live you plan to have kids.
👍😂😂😂
Kid must be wondering why mom constantly talks to herself, or to a phone.
You’re probably right!
👍
Hey, do you wanna learn german? Because when Willa goes to a Kita she will sooner and later learn german.
We hope so!
daycare is that cheap because it is subsidized by the community to make it more affordable for everyone.
it is not uncommon that parents apply for several KiTas and then all the sudden you have a place. pretty annoying
the bulk of kita is paid with German Taxes. Are you paying German taxes?
Sure they Do...with every purchase in a Shop for example (mehrwertsteuer)
Tanner, next time take care there isn't something in the background growing out of your head. ;-)
😂
Why are you wearing a hat inside? 🤔
We were about to go outside to the kita and it was cold 😂
^^
I like your videos. You are such a sweet family. But one thing is concerning me. You guys have to watch what your baby is eating. With sweet stuff and pork meat and so. Is she eating fruits and vegetables? Gluten and milky stuff is not so good to eat. And try to have an eye on clean hands. Babys tend to put everything in their mouth. Bacteria and viruses are not that great to have in your system. Just a hint. I love your videos though. They are great. :)
Thanks for your concern Anke :). Marisa is a Registered Dietitian, so food knowledge is right up her alley. She gets a variety of foods in her diet.
We’re glad you like the channel and thanks for being here! It’s fun sharing our experience of our adventures and life here :)
for bilingual education is the best for her go to Kita. Kids learn fast and easy.
