Out of the mouths of Babes

Kael is wanting to talk - he 'says' a few things already. When he wants something, he says 'Ta'. When you ask where something is, and he knows, he says, 'Deh'. Just yesterday, I was asking him if he wants juice and he said, 'Sss'. Slowly but surely, he is increasing the sounds he makes and it's all very cute. When he was smaller, he used to whistle. I don't think it was intentional but it was very surprising the first time it happened and then very cute after that. It didn't last all that long but it was pretty amazing to me - I believe that it is something some babies do though.

Kids quip(s) of the day...

Yesterday while driving home from fetching Paul from work, Paul said to this old man in front of us, "Go Toppie!". [Now, if you are South African, you know what this means... if not, then let me explain: in Afrikaans, the slag phrase for an old man (good or bad, depending on the context) is "Ou Toppie" Sometimes, this is shortened to just "Toppie" as Paul did.]
The kids, especially Jordy, thought this was hilarious so he was saying it over and over again... but instead of saying "Toppie", he said, "Tooffie". This is now the standing phrase for anyone who does something silly... :)
