Isabelle is still not talking.
What I mean is she is not saying Mommy! She manages to garble together “dog” “cat” yuck “juice” and “daddy.”
She says a few things, and has acquired the ability to grunt or whine which contains no consonants, only vowels. But somehow I am able to understand when she wants Flings, a chocolate biscuit or some water.
Granted I just give her one of these three options, when she makes this sound and it appears to keep her happy.
I have begun a twinge of concern regarding her “mental capabilities” because she is not coo’ing mommy, or even mama. (either that or she has a dislike for me)
This morning I was using the bathroom facilities.
I turned to use the loo roll. It was nearly finished.
Isabelle is standing there. She sees me reach over to the loo roll. She is able to assess that the roll is nearly finished. She immediately walks over and goes to fetch a new roll (which is kept in a little wooden box under the handbasins) and brings it over to me (I had not asked for it.)
I really do not need her to say mommy right now.
She is able to gauge a toilet roll is empty and get a new one (and throw the old cardboard roll into the dustbin), there are adults I know who still cannot do that.

/ October 4, 2011Yay Isabelle, I say that’s a far more complicated – she obviously has a sharp brain. There is a saying “empty vessels make the most noise”

I gave up on Joshua constructing sentences like other kids his age. He’ll do it on his terms & conditions.
Miss you RM
