out of the mouths of babes

Two things to share.

First

Tiggy: (watching The Little Mermaid) “Mummy why did the blah blah blah blah blah?”
Me: (clearly only mildly focusing while preparing supper) “Mmmm-es?” (Obviously some vague combined, “Mmm? Yes?”
Tiggy: “Why did you say Mmmm-es?”
Me: “What are you talking about Tigs?”
Tiggy: “I asked you a question. Why did you say Mmmm-es instead of 'Yes my Darling?'”
Me: Silently, folding myself in two, falling apart laughing at my sweet boy. "Sorry. Yes my Darling?"

Tiggy: Smiled sweetly, "Thank you for that Mummy".

Me: My heart exploding with love and gratitude for my precious son.

Second

My boy can talk, and talk. And talk! After a particularly long-winded conversation he looked up at me and asked, "Do I have 'oval' diarrhoea again?". Of course he meant 'verbal'. He always muddles these sorts of sayings up and I will endeavour to post them here to remind myself and to give you a giggle once in a while.

Dah-na, dah-na, dah-na - Agggghhhh!

Well, what can I say. He had such fun.

There has not been a lot of fun around here for the last few days, in spite of our imminent departure for Taiwan. I did a silly thing and have ended up with 20 stitches in my leg and am bed-ridden. What a bore. Great news is that it won't stop me heading to Taiwan to bring our baby girl home. I probably won't see very much of Taiwan or Hong Kong but at least I'll get to my baby.

Tiggy Teeth!
