Quiet voice

Daniel was having his sleep in on Saturday morning and I entered the room to get the washing. I could hear Lucas coming walking up to the room as he was wondering where I had gone.

When he entered the room I whispered to Lucas "Daddy's sleeping so you will need to talk in your quiet voice" to which he replied loudly "NO!" with great glee.

Daniel had a hard time laughing silently and keeping still!

"Normal plate!"

Last night we had dinner at the grandparents and the table was already set with Lucas' special plate and bowl (with Peter Rabbit on it) at one end of the table.

We sat Lucas on the chair and I started putting food on his plate. He started to say "Normal plate! Normal plate!" and began to take his food off his Peter Rabbit plate. Daniel and I have never heard him say the word "normal" before but what he wanted was a plate just like everyone else had and non of this baby nonsense with plastic plates that had rabbits on it!

When he was given my plain white plate he was quite happy and content. It just goes to show no matter how small they might be, they just want to be like us adults. It certainly starts at an early age!

Nana!

Lucas and I were sitting on the couch and he grabbed a framed family photo off the shelf which had me, my sister and parents in it.

I started asking Lucas who was who so would point at myself and say "who's this?" and he would say "Mummy!", then I pointed to my sister Indri and said "who's this?" and he said "Indi" which I thought was pretty close! Then I pointed at my mum and she doesn't have an 'official' grand mother name yet (as my mum wanted Lucas to come up with one) Lucas said "Nana!" so I think that settles that. She will now be Nana. And when I pointed at my dad he said "gra.....pa" as he's 'Grand Pa'.
