Jay and I made puppets at Playcentre. When I talk about my puppet I call it my puppy. Puppy is pink with pink hair. She is a girl. Puppy walks around the house with me and talks to Mum and Dad. Dad looks at Puppy and says “How are you?” and I help Puppy say “Good!” in a squeaky voice. I think Puppy is really cute! When I talk to Puppy Mum and Dad smile and laugh. They must think Puppy is cute too.

I like it when Dad plays Round and Round the Garden with me so I tried to play by myself. But it was too hard so I asked Dad to help.

Daddy do Round and Round the Garden. I can’t do it. It’s a bit tricky. Somebody else have to do it.

I had bread for breakfast and it wasn’t exactly right. So I asked Dad nicely to fix it.

I want some butter on my bread.

I forgot to say please. But Dad reminded me. Dad’s good like that.

I can count! I practised this morning on my legs. I sat down and pointed to my legs and said “Long legs. One… two legs!”

So I can count up to two. I don’t need any more numbers than two because I only have two legs.

I love it when Dad plays Three Little Piggies. Now I like to make nappy time more fun by asking him to do it again. “Do little piggy Dad!” I say. Then he does and it tickles and I laugh a lot. It’s even better than Jay playing Round and Round the Garden because Dad is a bit more gentle. Maybe I should teach Jay to do Three Little Piggies too.

When it is raining outside, Mum and Dad like to sing a little rhyme about the rain and an old man. Sometimes I try to sing it too:

“Raining, pouring, snoring. Bump his head.”

There is also a bit where the old man couldn’t get up in the morning. So maybe it is actually about Dad?

I like the moon. I always used to say “moon” when I saw it. But now I also know the name of where it is. I point up and say “Moon — up in the gy!” Sometimes I see other things up there too like “aeromplane” or “bird” or “ball”. Sometimes I go up in the sky too when Dad throws me up high. That’s even better than the moon.

Mum and Dad like to sing. Sometimes Jay sings too. Now I’ve started to learn some songs.

Twinkle twinkle little star!
What you are…

When Mum and Dad sing it there are some other words too. But I like my way.

I always like to choose books for Mum and Dad to read to me. Now I can talk so I can ask for some of my favourites. Lots of my books are called Beginner Books and are written by Dr Seuss and other people with funny names. Here are some of the books I ask for.

“Duck! Feet!” (I Wish That I Had Duck Feet)

“Oud Hat!” (Old Hat New Hat)

When I cry Mum and Dad always ask me what’s wrong. Now I have learned some words I can tell them. I was running along and fell over and started crying and Dad came over and said “what’s wrong?” I said “Hurt foot. Hit toy!” Dad started looking at my foot and gave it a kiss but it didn’t make it all better. I was still crying so he picked me up and took me over to the window and we looked out. Then I got to use some other words I know.

“Birds singing!”
