“Mommy, do you know you love me?”<\/em><\/p>\n**************<\/p>\n
Pretend-play is very common in Poohsden these days. I have been everything from a thorn bush to a snake. I have also been kuttyma frequently.<\/p>\n
I was once a baby monkey and kuttyma touches my head and goes<\/p>\n
“Are you died baby monkey? “<\/em><\/p>\n************<\/p>\n
“Hervey Bay sounds like herbivore”<\/em><\/p>\n************<\/p>\n
She has planned her birthday party or should I say parties for the next 3 years<\/p>\n
“4th birthday party I want to celebrate at Polliwogs <\/em>(a local play area). 5th birthday at museum and 6th in a beach in Australia”<\/em><\/p>\n************<\/div>\n
During our latest trip to Australia, she started noticing different accents. She says “cucumber” with a typical Aussie accent and it amazes me how much she grasps.<\/div>\n
************<\/div>\n
I spell some words when I do not want kuttyma to understand many of my tentative plans. I also work with her on sight words and phonetics so she understands alphabets put together make words.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
R:
So what are plans?<\/em><\/div>\nMe:
(blah blah blah). And dependent on how we feel, we can go to the P-L-A-Y place afterwards<\/em><\/div>\nKuttyma:
Mommy, what is P-L-A-Y?<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I was tempted to tell her to mind her own business. But I did not<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Me:
It is play – P-L-A-Y is the way we spell play.<\/em><\/div>\nKuttyma:
P-L-A-Y – play (she beamed in pride)<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I debated about learning another language.<\/div>\n
