bits, while A. tries to finish his nap and his various visiting grandparents are out and about in HK.
I say "where's your lantern?" and he turns and points to it. and how he loves to be swooshed under its hanging fringe. he closes his eyes and surrenders to the tickle of the threads on his face, laughing and chortling.
an outrage: yesterday when he woke up after 45 minutes of afternoon nap, instead of patting him gently and saying "shoosh" and generally lulling him back to sleep, Mum-mum picked him up, practically threw him into his carrier and took him up to baby group.
on the way home, his grandmother (my mother) testing him on his sounds. she'd say "ah, ah, ah", and after a few seconds he'd say "ah." and yesterday looking at his photo albums we looked at the dog and told him its name and after a few seconds he said "B...B...B'' (the first letter of the dog's name). this morning dh and I tried again in bed after his morning feed and he came out with a surely accidental sound that was like the whole name. any second now there will be real talking, not the delightful babble with intent he's throwing at me now from the other room. (and what a relief he's back in his own room. no more houseguests in this apartment.
