Maia Mi

Well, it seems to be milestone after milestone these days. On Wednesday 17th October Maia put together her first three word sentence. She was commenting on how Pappa had changed seats on the train and said, quite clearly, "Pappa sitter der" - Daddy sitting there!

And today she was in the car and got a bit grumpy all of a sudden. Usually I have to try work out what's wrong by looking round. But today I heard a bit of grumpy 'Nei nei!' and then "Lambo falle ned!" - her little cuddly toy we call 'lambo' (some strange fat bottomed creature Granny Gugs picked up in Sainsburys of all places - it's ace!) had fallen down!

Fantastic stuff.

Nursery also commented that her grasp of concepts and connections is coming on really well. Yesterday she picked up a blanket but instead of saying 'blanket' which is easy, she said 'Sleeping' and then went over to the doll and put the doll to sleep. She knew that the blanket was for sleeping in and therefore there was no need to call it blanket. She'd made the required connection.

Amazing to see all this before our very eyes!
