Dear Katy Bug

Dear Katy Bug,

Your first words have so surprised your Daddy and I. Your first word naturally was Mama but the next delighted and amused us.  Thank you, you pronounced as Gak u.

Today you are 15 mths old.  This morning to being up with you lots last night I had a sleep in while you spent time with Daddy.  When I finally stumbled out of the bedroom you stood up and said "Mama, where you are?"  Your Daddy and I laughed as we understood you to mean, Mama where were you?

Yesterday when I got you out of the at church you took off to explore and got two metres away and then turned and looked and said 'Mama?'  I replied, "I'm here!" and you raced back to my side, grabbed my skirt the relief was evident in your voice when you said 'here you are!"

It delights me to hear your words and I look forward to understanding even more of your chatter. On Friday I noticed you needed to use the potty and I picked you up to take you and you stood beside the potty saying ka-ka, ka-ka!  your pronounciation of the Croatian word I use to talk to you about poos.  I'm wondering whether you will soon be ready for potty training.

Despite my sleepiness and crankiness today, I love you my little cheeky girl!  You are the delight of my life and I'm so proud of you for learning to sleep in your own bed.  Your night thirstiness?  Together we'll sort that one out as I encourage you to drink more in the day and not depend so much on the milk you plead for in the night hours.

All my love,
Your Mama
