Chatty dd is attempting to 'sing' along with us these days. Her favorite song is 'Pat a cake' and her version of the song goes like this: "pat cake, pat cake, baker tum ta le ti ah erm tee fon baby and me". She doesn't mind the middle incoherent part of the song or her tuneless tune as she looks really pleased with herself. Sometimes when she's babbling the song non stop and nobody notices enough to commend her, she makes sure to get my attention so that I can acknowledge her attempts at singing. Her other favorite song is Old Mcdonalds. She loves 'singing' the 'eieio's at the appropriate moment. These days she has taken to dictating which animal Old Mcdonalds has on his farm as well.
If she wants to get something that catches her fancy, she will say " how about this one?" If she's in the mood to be difficult, she will say "no I don't want sleep" or eat or whatever else that she refuses to do. She also loves counting 1-8 on her own but not always in perfect order.
These days, her mischievous streak is showing and when you ask her whats daddy name, she will purposely tell you mummy's name and give a gleeful smile.
