"A, B, C, D, E and G,

H, I, J, K 

mumble mumble mumble

U, R, F

P, U, B,

double U, S, Y and bed."

(try singing this to the tune of the Alphabet song, it might make more sense.)

"Get me down in here."

when he wants to be put down.

after a mummy-son date

Mummy: "Did you have a good time?"

beautiful boy: "Yes Mummy. We watched the film on the big rectangle television. And we had popcorn."

in the car

Mummy: "We'll be home really soon."

beautiful boy: "Yes home is not very far away."

Daddy: "No. That's right, we're nearly there."

beautiful boy: "Good. Home has disappeared altogether."

while trying (and failing) to climb on Mummy

beautiful boy: "I'm going to climb on your back Mummy."

Mummy: "Are you? Is that a good idea?"

beautiful boy: "Yes."

Mummy: "Okay then."

beautiful boy: "Oh no Mummy. I can't do it. We need a mouseker-tool."

(He clearly loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse a little too much.)

beautiful boy: "Oooh, Mummy. It's very dark."

Mummy: "Yes."

beautiful boy: "And it's very nighttime."

Mummy: "Yes it is."

beautiful boy: "There are lots and lots of stars in the sky."

Mummy: "Yes."

(we walked along for a couple of seconds in silence.)

beautiful boy: "And it's very windy Mummy."

Mummy: "Yes, it's definitely windy."

beautiful boy: "Oh no Mummy. The wind will blow the pretty stars away."

in a toilet cubicle at a motor way services

beautiful boy: "You're making a weewee Mummy."

Mummy (whispering): "Yes I am."

beautiful boy: "Well done Mummy, good girl."

Mummy (whispering): "Thank-you."

beautiful boy: "Let me see."

Mummy (whispering and trying not to laugh): "No sweetheart."

beautiful boy (shouting): "Here you go Mummy. Here's some tissue to wipe your bottom."

Mummy (laughing): "Thank-you very much!"

playing with some alphabet toys

"a is for apple. b is for ball. C is for yellow car."

"Mickey and Minnie go in the heart together. Because they love each other. They want to be together. Ahhhhhhh! Have a cuddle Minnie and Mickey."

(What a romantic!!!!)

"It's night time now. The sun is gone. The clouds are gone. But it will be day time another day."

"Mummy! I love you more than mostest."

"It's a giant crisp with polka dots."

(he was talking about a poppadom.) 

beautiful boy: "Move. You're in the way."

Mummy: "That's not very polite. We say excuse me."

beautiful boy: "Okay, excuse YOU Mummy."

beautiful boy: "He's feeling very sad."

Mummy: "She. We say she when we talk about a girl."

beautiful boy: "She?"

Mummy: "Yes, she. Your sister is a she."

beautiful boy: "She for sheep?"

Mummy: "Yes that's right."

beautiful boy: "Baaa baaa. She is a sheep. Baaa baaa."

beautiful boy: "She's got a banana yoghurt."

Mummy: "It's not banana actually, it's vanilla."

beautiful boy: "Banilla."

Mummy: "No, not banilla, VA-nilla."

beautiful boy: "Nanilla."

Mummy: "VA-NILL-A."

beautiful boy: "Very nilla?"

Mummy: "Okay, very nilla it is."

Mummy: "Is that yummy?"

beautiful boy: "No."

Mummy: "Is it delicious?"

beautiful boy: "No. It's chocolate."
