I like to try putting on my own shoes. And Oskar's shoes too for that matter. Oh, and Mummy's, but I can't walk in them. I just sit on my bottom and hold my leg in the air and laugh. I call shoes, 'youszh', a pretty good effort I think.
Oskar has taught me some more words to say. If I stand at the fridge door and say, 'Gogo-gogo', then Mum knows that I want some go-juice and usually gets it for me. Sometimes, like this morning, we don't have any juice left, so after Mum explains that, then I stand there and say, 'why?'. Then she explains that we'll buy some more when we go shopping and I repeat, 'why?'. This is a good way to keep her talking to me!
Another word Oskar taught me yesterday is, 'pleazhe'. We were playing in the sandpit and wanted some water from the tap to make apple pies with. Oskar yelled for Mum to get us some, but she refused until he'd said, 'please'. Then I went up to the tap and stood there waiting. Oskar came over and said, 'Jaz you gotta say, "please"', so I looked at Mum and said, 'pleazhe', and she got me some water! Earlier Mum had said that she wouldn't get us anymore water, but she changed her mind when I said, 'pleazhe', so I guess it's a good way to get what you want. I must remember it.
We went to another school fair yesterday. We didn't take the stroller so I got lots of cuddles because I didn't really want to walk by myself. There were too many big, noisy people there. The best part was the big slide. Dad, Oskar and I climbed up this huge lot of steps to get to the top of this monster slide. Oskar went first, then a strange man held me while Dad sat on a bag to go down. I got a bit worried because I thought I was going to be left up there with all these noisy boys, but the man handed me to Daddy and we both slid down together. I was a bit terrified at first, but by the time we made it down the bottom I had managed a little smile. It was kind of fun! Oskar had about four slides all by himself. He was very brave.
