22 Months

Hey invisible friends, it's been a while, how are you? Right, good, now let me talk about me. It sounds rude but thats kind of what blogging is right? Just a big one way MSN conversation except the other person can only respond after you've said everything you wanted to say.

Today I was going to talk about my chatterbox son because he's just got to the stage where he can say things that are funny. It's sort of like living with a foreigner, but cuter. Percy is 22 months and his English is a bit better than my french (I got a C at GCSE). He's just started doing little sentences up to about 5 words. He's only recently started using joining words like "in and "the". His most impressive and obscure sentence that he says quite often is "Mummy and Daddy share the car". We said that to him once as he questioned why I was driving, and it's just become this weird thing he said. Today he even said "Harriet Mummy and Daddy share the car" and "Harriet Daddy holiday in the car". (This wasn't true though, Harriet's Daddy just went to work in the car, although sometimes when you have children work can feel like a holiday, so maybe that was a profound statement.)

If you don't know, Harriet is one of many little girls in Percy's life but one he sees a lot of at the moment as me and Abi (Harriet's mum), are doing a baby swap. So, I had a day off and I will have both little ones later in the week. They have a lot of fun together.

Anyway here are some things Percy has said:

"All done sleep time" at 5:55am
When I was chopping his nails: "mummy chop the Percy"
While eating lunch "where's the pineapple!" there was no context to this he hasn't even see pineapple for about a year.
Describing his first experience of death: "woodlouse, oh no, Harriet stamping. another one" = I found a woodlouse, Harriet accidentally stood on it, I cried, we went to find another one.
On a house viewing he said "wow" in every room. Maybe he should be an estate agent.

We're enjoying living with the Langsons, we've had some good banter with them. Today I gave a rubber horse's head to their four year old and told her to wear it when answering the door.

Last weekend was a weekend of seeing old friends. We went to a wedding of one of my oldest friends Charlotte.

I saw my friend Rachel and her brand new adorable baby Violet Emily and probably my bestest friend of all Bex and her band new adorable baby Andrew Jace.

We are going to France tomorrow. We will spend a few days with Dan's family and then we will go and do some camping with Rachel and my family. It's not normal camping though, it's posh camping in a caravan with wifi and a dishwasher and everything.

P.S. The most ridiculous thing I have ever said about France was this: "After brexit will France go back to using the Franc?
To be fair, I knew it was ridiculous as soon as I had said it.
