Millie has been awake for 15minutes and has said mummy 25 times so far. Hubby hasn't left for work yet so she's said daddy 64 times. We waited with baited breath for her first mummy and daddy words and now I hold my breath and count to 10 to stop my brain from exploding with them.
Today her mummy's meant:-
I'm wearing a towel
I'm stuck on toilet
I dropped lavender oil over bannister
I want milk
I've done a poo
Put this top on me
I've emptied this sewing box
I want milk
I want to come down with you
I want some of that chocolate
I've hurt my foot
I want this open
I want milk
Look I'm climbing the bookcase
Look I'm emptying the bookcase
I've fallen off the bookcase
I want this, it appears attached
I'm upstairs you're not
You're in the shower not beside me
I want milk
I like this milk
Open this plastic box and fill it
Look I'm standing in the dishwasher
Oh why did you close it
Lift me up
I want milk
Stop making dinner
I'm so happy playing with my sisters
I'm overwhelmed they're chasing me
I didn't mean to bite Maia
I'm tired
I'm hungry
I want that
Ellie made my nose bleed
By the time hubby got home, ten hours later, there were about 226 of them. That's roughly one every three minutes.
Normally, I just hear an endless stream of mummeeeeee mummeeeeee mummeeeeee and by the end of the day I am near plot losing. From today's experiment, I see that I am not taking the time to actually HEAR what my little 18m old is telling me. I am not paying enough attention to be able to decipher her communications. She is SO desperate to talk, it must be SO frustrating for her not to have all the words yet and even worse to feel I am not listening to her.
Who knew my baby had SO much to say?!!
Why not try pay attention to your mummeeeee's tomorrow and let me know what your baby is telling you!
Meltdowns - massive one on a bike ride
Losing the plot - not massively but too much shouting
Breastfeeding - lots
sounds very intense!!!!!!! I'm not too sure our little guy is that frustrated by not knowing the words. He seems pretty happy to carry on in his own special language world. It's hysterical watching them, though. Hope the weekend gives you some time to BREATHE!
