As her vocabulary improves, our conversations seem to be getting more and more surreal. We lay in bed last night and I was stroking her head as she fell asleep. It must've sparked memories of our late night breastfeeds as she sleepily asked me where my boobs lived. Smothering a laugh, I told her they live on my chest and she said 'but where do they eat? Where do they watch telly? Where do they sleep?' erm.... well they don't really do those things sweetheart, now go to sleep... to which she retorted 'but that means they'll be very hungry, very bored and very tired!'. I just told her to go to sleep. A couple of minutes later another little voice 'why do you need wings to fly?'.
I thought I'd conquered the little girl screaming as she hasn't done it for ages. On the way home from nursery she did it again and following my admonishment told me that her teacher, MissL had also told her that they didn't like it at nursery. I asked whether she had apologised and explained why you should say sorry if someone asks you not to do something. Some hours later she was in the bath: 'Mummy, if I do this AAARRRAAAGGGHHH (scream), and then say 'Oh, sorry!', would that be OK?'.
Lastly, the other day she was painting with Daddy. She told him she was doing pictures for her aunties. R asked her which ones and she said N and N. R explained that she had four aunties, N, N, K and E. She looked to me as arbiter 'Mummy, E and K aren't aunties are they? They're Mummies' (K and E have children, N and N don't!).
I suppose all this makes sense in her little mind, and there's a definite logic!
