Piggy! Wee-wee-wee!

The other night, relaxing on the couch in the lounge, Leia went to go stand by Ricky’s feet and said “Piggy! Piggy! Home! Piggy!”, wiggeling each toe as she said a word and then went “Wee! Wee! Wee!” up the leg to tickle Ricky in his ribs! It was the sweetest thing! Out of her [...]

One-Two-Three-Four-Five!

Leia counts to five now! And she does it in one-to-one correspondence too!

The frog that climbs “Schloop – schloop”

I’ve been doing frogs with Miya for the past while as a homeschool theme and of course, Leia hangs around and when there are crafts to make, she joins in and she listens to stories and so on, but exactly *how* much she takes in, completely flabbergasted me… Last night, while going through a little [...]

Big big baby!

Leia has grown 4 full centimeters since December!

Story

Today, when Rick came home, I started telling him about our day and got to “And at swimming today…” and then Leia took over with “Tswim tswim, Daddy!” accented with swimming hand gestures, followed by “Og! Leia tswimming, schloop (slurping noise while mimicking drinking water with bowed head). Tummy sore (pats tummy). Bleargh (throw-up/burpy sound [...]

Imaginary phone conversations

With a definite purpose in mind, Leia climbs up the kitchen counter, grabs the phone off the hook and when I ask her who she’s calling, says “Mommy!” and then proceeds to say “Hold on. Mmmm. Mmmm. Ja. Baby. Okay, bye”

Me

“Mommy? Mosquito bit me.” Only 20 mnths old and she refers to herself as “me” Pretty awesome development
