Hi All, Just a quick update about our current adventures in parenting. Fiona is talking more and more every moment. She has figured out that saying "please" gets her what she is asking for most of the time. She is putting two words together in command form like the other day at the park when she wanted me to come down from a bench I was on, she said "Mummy down" while pointing at the ground...clever girl.
She has also started hitting us during times of frustration and excitement. Any suggestions about what might work here would be helpful? We're mostly just shunning her after she hits us, game over, little time out, will this work? How long will it take?
Also please notice the picture of Fiona who has discovered the television. She managed to get the DVD going herself the other day. We had no idea she could figure that one out. She has one DVD that came in a magazine that has some Winnie the pooh and other cartoons on it. I wonder how long until she notices that it's the same 20 minute loop.
Here is her latest artwork too...

The version I heard, when poor Louise had at last found a moment to sit down, was "Mummy up" -- to get Fiona some more raisins, of course. I have a feeling that "More, please" is something we are going to hear a lot!
I heard another new word this week: I asked Fiona if she knew why we didn't see owls flying, the way we see gulls and crows all the time, and she asked back, "Why?"!!! So I had to explain about nocturnal activity patterns, etc. She appeared to be taking it all in.
