Great Conversations

Here are just a few of the great conversations we've been having over the past couple of months...

Mummy: How old are you Katie?
Katie: Not five, not four, not six!

Katie: I'm happy. Are you happy mummy? Katie happy, mummy happy. Are you happy daddy? Katie happy, mummy happy and daddy happy.

Katie knows that Daddy is a doctor but seems to think that he can fix anything. Last week our radiator stopped working, and so Katie piped up with 'That's ok, Daddy can fix it, he's a doctor'.

Katie is adding to her vocabulary on a daily basis. This week she has replaced old phrases with new ones - 'It's gone' is now 'it's disappeared'; 'oh dear' is now 'I've got a problem'; and 'I like it' is now 'it's fantastic'.

We were out and about in the car the other day and had a conversation about what music we would listen to. It was decided that daddy would finish listening to his podcast, then Katie could have Kids Praise on. We explained this over and over again, then I said "so daddy's putting his choice on now and when it's finished you can put yours on". Katie rightly replied from the back of the car, "but I can't reach".

This week Katie was watching us wrap some food in tin foil. As she does she asked what we were doing and so we explained. And as she does she tried to learn the word. But foil was coming out as 'hoil'. After a number of repetitions from us both, I explained 'not hoil, but f-f-f-f-foil'. To which she replied, 'f-f-f-f-hoil'!

We were back visiting our lovely friends at Walton Corps over Christmas. When the band started, Katie covered both her ears and said, "when the music stops, I take my ears off"

As well as talking, Katie also likes singing. This week we had a great version of a song, only the words had changed from the norm. She sang, 'Heads, elbows, knees and toes'

She's great!

We love you Katie. You make us smile.
