Humuhumu’s listening comprehension has undergone a major uptick this week. We were in the bedroom on Monday morning and I said, “Shall we go and brush our teeth?” She smiled and toddled to the bathroom. I followed, and she pointed up to the shelf above the sink where her toothbrush sits and made her “Mmm mmm” noise that means “I want that”. I applied toothpaste and handed it to her and she popped it into her mouth and started brushing. She’s done it every morning this week.

Another cute thing she started doing is taking my perfume bottle (Bvlgari’s “au thè vert”) off my bedside table, removing the cap, pretending to spray a little on her hand and then rubbing her hands together carefully in imitation of my daily application of the stuff.

The weather was glorious last weekend so we spent as much time as possible outside. We went for a walk in Hanbury wood and we weeded and planted seed in the garden. Humuhumu was especially enamoured of the planting, although after five neat rows of broad beans, her sowing strategy went a little rogue. In a couple of weeks, we should find out where that clump of beans got stashed.


Why thank you, I will help myself to another bean.
