Dear Sailor

I swear Matt has found new words overnight. It is like he turned two and a switch flicked. He will generally repeat a word after you say it, might not remember it next time, but they learn by repetition anyway. Like tonight, he held up a pea, babbled something at me and I said 'pea'. He said 'pea' and ate it!

When he sees a ball he says 'ball,kick', he calls his nappies 'bum', he said 'Awick' (warwick), and 'Bye, manda' when the babysitter (Amanda) left the other day. He can now say 'Wiggle'. When he sees the Olympic swimmers he laughs and says 'bath!'

He says 'bike' when he sees a motorbike or pushbike, he still says 'car' for trucks and utes, and 'bus' for planes and buses.

I can tell him to put his dinner plate on the table and he does it without spilling.

He knows that when the oven light is on that it is hot and he will point to it and say 'hot'.

He can say 'not nice' and 'notty' (naughty). He understands 1, 2, 3, and that 3 could mean trouble for him, lol. He can sort of count up to ten (with someone helping).

He loves to play chasies, when he wants you to he will run a little, kind of looking over his shoulder, and say 'RAH', that is your cue to chase him (slowly but noisily so it sounds like you are really chasing, and you have to say 'RAH' too).

He is fearless.

He likes swings and slides and climbing. When he sees a see-saw he sings 'see-saw, see-saw'.

Pretty amazing isn't he.
