So. Summer is speeding through the learning shit. The past week or so has been especially mental and astonishing. She is learning new words left right and centre- like "socks" and "shoes" are firm favourites this week. She likes to say "socks" whilst tapping her little feet, or "shoes" whilst watching you get ready to leave the house. So you just nod at her and say "yes, socks" or "yes, shoes" to which she'll grin her goofy grin and run off. Yesterday, Josie and I taught her "Mia". Not just how to say "Mia" but actually that Mia was my name and a way of calling me or getting my attention. So this morning, hidden under the duvet trying to catch up on sleep, of which I feel pretty deprived at the moment, Summer was outside the door saying "Mia, Mia, Mia" over and over again to see if I was awake. Ah it was so lovely. Like the loveliest alarm you could imagine. And its not only new words that she is absorbing- she is consistently performing little actions she has been sponging up from the world. Like running up and down the corridor full pelt with my umbrella held high abover her head, giggling her heart out. Who has she seen running with an umbrella recently?
