I am very grown up now. I can have conversations on the phone, which sound something like this: "Hello nanny/daddy. Mprliuhoimns play train mnfr Yanik. Play mnjrk castle...balloons. Dindins, bath, milk, dumpf. Night night nanny/daddy". (Dumpf = dummy. Blankf = blanket)

Everyone seems to enjoy these conversations and both nanny and daddy make enthusiastic noises. I try to show them what I have been playing with, pointing the telephone handset in that general direction, but the image does not seem to filter through in this way. Clearly, phone technology still has a long way to go.

If I want someone to play with me, I grab their hand and drag them to the play area. I can now pee on the toilet using a special seat but only do this when asked. I have never had a poo on the toilet, and some people seem to be concerned about this but I think it's none of their business. I generally wake up once or twice in the night. I go to bed at 8sih and get up at 7.30ish full of energy and ready to go. Alison takes care of me while mummy and daddy lie in the room below, listening to my thundering footsteps as I dash around.

Sometimes when mummy is reading to me I grab the book and begin to read myself. The reading I do sounds something like this: "mdgfrsy train mngt station. Man vrtrumgrib choo choo tracks". Mummy lies there very patiently until I have finished.

Daddy and Alison took me on my first circus trip today but the clowns were not as funny as daddy and they were not as good at throwing things as I am, so we left early. I like to go to play parks in Avenches and Payerne and particularly enjoy the big slides. Night night.
