This week we have mainly been....chatty

Leila's words are really coming along and we are picking up more and more on what she is saying.

She can tell us which cereal she wants;  Ooots! She has a strange liking for nearly dry oats at breakfast time (just a little bit of prune juice is all she wants on them), despite our cupboards being full of imported Weetabix and Shreddies!

When she wants to go to the park, or just to walk, it sounds the same 'ak'. She'll then say 'baaa' and wave when we are going out to say goodbye!

As it's getting hot now we're using the AC a lot around the house and in her room 'Ay see'

Her animal vocabularly has been added to with 'Pa' which is panda after her panda t-shirt that she inherited from Martha.  When asked what frogs do the other day though she stuck out her tongue!  (as the rhyme we sing is about Little Green Frogs who stick out their tongues and then dance shoo-be-do-be-do!)

Yesterday she pointed to her bottom and said 'poo' when she'd done a poo. A massive breakthrough as we thought she was miles off potty training, but then she didn't repeat this today.

She knows that there is a 'baba' in mummy's tummy and she has taken to wanting to lie down and cuddle it (as well as clean inside my belly button with a small amount of tissue, which is rather odd!)

She quicky learnt the word 'ouch' when she scraped her knee a few weeks ago.  Even though the scab fell off last week she still keeps pointing at her knee and saying 'ouch' with great enthusiasm!  We're trying to calm this now by encouraging her to solve ouch problems with kisses, rather than cream or poking!
