Little Bro is starting to feel better. I could tell when he marched past me this afternoon enunciating his first three word sentence on the top of his (not so) little voice, “Ride my bike”, he shouted! Of course, being 19 months old it is only his mother (or father) who can easily interpret his words.
I knew I had interpreted correctly however, because ride his bike he did - around the courtyard for half an hour. He repeated the words “Ride my bike!” at 10 second intervals the entire time! Each time it was at the same volume and with identical intonation, each syllable equally emphasised. It was like a politician with a sound bite at election time!
Just another example of a lesson in life my kids have taught me - never be afraid to repeat yourself (again and again if necessary)! Eventually someone listens, and even if they don’t, there’s always the simple pleasure of the sound of your own voice!
Bike, toddlers speaking
