She can talk
Lucie can now talk properly, well most of the time anyway. It is nice now that she can tell me what she wants, and she seems to be saying a new word or several every day, I can now have proper conversations with her. At the moment she attempts to copy what we are saying, think the funniest example of this was yesterday when I’d cooked dinner and said to Kirsty: “Dinner’s ready babe”, then Lucie runs up to Kirsty and says: “Dinner ready babe”. We were laughing for ages although Lucie couldn’t understand why we were laughing.
Her memory is getting better though as she remembers that it was granchy Bob’s birthday and that she went to Tracy’s house for dinner. It was when she asked where Nana’s cat had gone, the cat had been put down last month, thankfully Lucie accepted that it had just gone, attempting to explain death to a 22 month old would have been interesting to say the least.
Another funny example was when she was looking at the pictures on my phone and said what sounded like “what the hell’s that?” looking at the picture of a cow suit. Funny little bean.
