Mike's musings

Daughters round-up

(backposting) Well, we've still got two, but here are a few of the things that they've been up to.

Jo:

• much, much more talkative
• LOUDER!
• interested in what we're doing, and thinking she can work out what we want (not always correctly)
• some lovely moments, for instance, after a little trump in the bath: "my farts are very smelly these days"
• the discovery of humour. Of a sort.
• "apparently Mel will get a new job soon"; Moo "really, what's that?"; Jo "she's going to be someone else's nanny"; Moo "really, whose?"; Jo "Dean's" (her fiancé); Moo "really?"; Jo "that was just a big trick"
• "Why did the farmer through the duck out of the window? Because he wanted to see a flying duck"

Miri:

• "boo!" lots more
• clambering, climbing everywhere (rarely safely)
• walking when she can be bothered, crawling when she can't
• beginning to play games and mirror behaviour: and she starts the games
• lots of laughter and giggling
• copying words in real time
• coming out with plausible phrases sometimes: "Jojo's shoes"
