Now that I'm at school I'm learning how to read letters and words, and am doing more and more writing too. But little William isn't as good as me. He's still learning to speak, so he only knows a few words. He is trying to speak proper words more, but sometimes they don't come out quite right. Like these ones...
bitty = bickie (biscuit)
cuggle = cuddle
One word he's only just started trying to say is his name. I guess it's a tricky word for a baby, but when he tries to say it, it sounds like he has something stuffed into his mouth. You'll see what I mean in this video:
Mostly he just says one or two words, but he has worked out how to say a couple of longer sentences. His favourite one seems to be "Go away lawnmower. Too loud.". He came out with that one after seeing Daddy mow the lawns, and he got really frightened with the loud noise.
Of course, one word he's immediately learned, maybe because I say it so often, is "cukky". It's handy that he knows the word, because he carries his cukky around everywhere - usually hanging out of his mouth, covered in dribble. Love for our cukkys is something we have in common.
Luckily for us all, most of the time we can work out what William means, even if he says it a bit funny. And luckily for William, he has a great teacher to learn from - me!
