Back from three days in Melbourne with the new job. It was hot (36C/97F) and, well, work. Putting faces to names and sorting out some of the internal procedures was about as exciting as it got.
We had a very funny episode with Max last night though. Usually if the boys eat all their dinner they can have a small sweet treat out of a tin that we use especially for keeping the treats in. Max had eaten all his dinner and desert and we asked him if he wanted a treat. At the moment he is having trouble making a number of vocal sounds – “ch” sounds likes a k as in kit, “tr” – as in train also sounds like k as in kit. Anyway we asked him if we wanted a treat and he said “I’ll koose (choose) one from the tin” Normally we let these things slide but he was in a really good mood so I thought I’d push him a bit. “What? Koose one from the tin” I said. “no, koose!” he replied “Sorry, koose one from the treat tin?” said I. He then looked at me with a grin on his face and said “No, I’ll pick the one I want!”
Nice to see that he can think of a different phrase that means the same thing
