Winter, Words & Bleurgh!

He speaks! 

That is all.

Ok, it’s not all, but YESSSSSSSS! <-- That’s one of his words - the lisp is correct as well, though I think that’ll fade away as he continues to speak. 

It’s also the correct response to the question “Is this a pathetic winter?”  Honestly.... hardly any snow, you know it’s bad when the UK gets far more than you.  Strange though to have days when the temp is down in the teens, yet the air is so dry, there’s no frost at all.  Of course even a light dusting gets all the numpties out on the road driving in 1st gear at 10 mph.  Look it’s quite simple if you can’t drive or don’t know how, park the car, stay indoors and stop causing more trouble. 

So, we have had a fun January... last time I spoke about Ryan being ill, and us both taking a trip to the emergency center, well since then Ryan decided that he liked the idea of this Norovirus, he announced that by having a technicolor yawn over Jessica & himself as well as the sofa..... then the floor... then Jessica.... and stayed up with me till 2am.  Jessica decided to join in the fun on the Sunday, though she went for the advanced “Shomit” option.  I’d seen all this and feeling rough decided my best course of action was to not eat or drink anything for 24-48 hours.  This seemed to work, but it did re-ignite the flu symptoms I’d had the week previously.  Cue 1st ever set of work call outs by me, and Jessica somehow being more effective at home that some of her colleagues at work!

Anyway, this led to us investing in “Tide” stock, and hoping the washing machine didn’t break down (it hasn’t yet!)  At the time of writing we’re all back to sort of normal, Ryan is back at daycare and we don’t need super packets of Charmin anymore.

Right back to speaking... Ryan’s taken one of his regular “steps” and had begun to show lots of interest in “No!” (gets that from his Mom - clearly) when he was being changed he responded affirmatively to a question of “do you need a change?”.... cue mad excitement from Jessica and a suggestion to calm down we’re not making an issue of it from me... of course we were happy & proud to see the progress, as was his speech tutor yesterday when he greeted her with his new word.

Top news of course and we hope to bring advanced vocabulary soon.  Oh, no news on an accent yet.....

Enjoy.. and avoid the norovirus if you can!
