First (official) word!

Judith has been sying 'ngry' (hungry or thirsty) and 'sblas sblas' (splash splash) already, but there's never been a moment shen she's obviously said it for the first time, more that they've become things in her speech that we understand.

Well, today she pointed at the fruit bowl and said 'bear'! (She meant pear, I don't keep bears in my fruit bowl.) First time she's tried to use my languae anddefinitely succeeded.

What a very useful word. Benedct had one word which covered all diggers, tractors, etc: dot-dot. We used it for years after he was using proper English, mostly because we didn't know another word that meant the same thing.

I had a word which meant "vehicle with siren". The nice lady from the county council who comes round and shows you vocabulary cards got rather confused by it.

In our house, we call those "ni-nas." That covers all of those vehicles with sirens!

Aha! My word was da-das. But the sirens where you are are the wailing kind, aren't they?

Ooh, that works. I think most children call them nee-naws, so maybe that's why she was confused?
