I've learnt more words that I'm loving using. When someone calls out, 'Jazzie', I now call back, 'whaaaat?' He he. I've also learnt about 'no'. When Mum asks if I want to go to bed I reply, 'no'. When they ask if I want a nappy change I say, 'no'. And if they ask if I want to go and play I say, 'no'. I'm not one hundred percent sure what it means, but it seems to be appropriate for lots of occasions.

I'm loving reading books. My favourites are Goodnight Moon and Aaaarrgghh, Spider! I love to flip through the pages and point to the pictures. In the spider book I point to the spiders and say, 'sbice'. In Goodnight Moon there's a picture of a red balloon. I find it in every page and say, 'bilooo'. Actually, I point to balloons wherever I see them. Whenever I find them in other books, or on the clown on my wall I call out, 'MummyMummyMummy, biloooo!' I was very excited to see some balloons on the tent in Oskar's room and yelled out, 'MummyMummyMummyMummy, biloooo!!' Sometimes it takes her a while to look at me, so I've taken to repeating her name a few times. It seems to work.

We've been singing, 'Heads, shoulders, knees and toes', a bit lately and I'm getting to know where they are. I point to Mummy's nose and say, 'nosthe', and stick my finger in her eye and say, 'eye'. I put my finger in my ear and say, 'eeyah'. Then I lift my foot up and say, 'knee'.
