To add to the general babble and aforementioned list of words now issuing from the Mouse’s mouth, we have this week:
Pad-turn - Paddington; ANTZ! (self-explanatory); Dan-chooo - Thank-you; wee-wee (again, no translation required here); Pooed! (same!); Crackers! Cheese! (In response to Curse of the Were-Rabbit); Peppas - red pepper, not to be confused with pappas - pasta; OUT! - get out of your chair, mummy; WALK! - come with me!; Pubbles - jigsaw puzzles; bed - come and play hide’n’seek with me on the spare bed please mummy; and Chicken, which is the thing itself and also refers to Chicken Run.
The ability to have a real conversation with a tiny two year old still amazes me. We rattle on for hours chatting about everything and nothing - he understands more than he can speak, obviously; you can see the comprehension dawning in his eyes. And listening to him talking to himself under his breath is fascinating. He’s almost talking TO himself and receiving a reply - inevitably this makes me think of Gollum, but in a good way, if such a thing is possible!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
He’s such a BOOSTER!!
