Bob and other words

The Minx has had some funny ideas lately. She has been insisting on wearing her bike helmet while eating supper. I guess it makes mealtime a bit more fun?Rhiannon is saying a strange mix of words now -- some Norwegian, some Welsh and some English. She uses the Welsh words "dwr" for water, "agar" for open and "hett" for hat. Then she is still saying "Nei" for no (of course), as well as "sae" for look, "ash" for yuck and probably more that we don't recognize yet. In English, she says "toast", "done", "bubbles", "bug" (as in ladybug) and more every day. She is getting really good at mimicking words.

However, her favorite word right now is "Bob". She got this from watching a few episodes of "Byggmester Bob" -- aka "Bob the Builder". This cartoon (in Norwegian) is on early in the morning (i.e. before we parents are fully functioning) and she loves the theme tune. She may be a bit confused though, as she has been calling Bentley "Bobby" and other men she sees (including Grandpa Carl via video link) "Bob"!

You are funny, Rhiannon! Soon, you will have a little brother or sister, you can share all these things with!

I bought a bicycle helmet for Ila last Christmas and it's still in the packaging. Maybe I should pull it out and she could have fun like Rhiannon wearing it at the dinner table (note Ila is nearly 27 years old -- possibly not as cute as an 18 month old child).

Great updates Lisl. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. It's fun to stay connected from afar.

Love to you all,
Ashlee

I love watching Rhiannon's videos and seeing all of your pics -- I can just picture Rhodri and Rhiannon doing the "Everything's cooooool" gesture. :) She's just the cutest!

Hope we'll get to see you in August when you're in SD! What are the dates you're here again?
