Talking

I should probably also let you know the words I can say. That is impossible: I know so many words. And of course, I have learnt 'Bonjour' in Switzerland. It is what everybody says there.

But I now realise that one can say more than one word in a go. For example: 'Sir lolly Kasha gave.' And this was the friendly waiter in the Bird's park restaurant who gave me a lollipop. I was very happy with that, and repeated the sentence above hundred's of times!

Or I say: 'Mama hole belly'. Then we look up mama's navel. And then I say 'Kasha hole belly', because my most favourite thing is 'together'. Mama and papa and I should always do things together. Unless of course it is 'Self do'.

And you know what: I know also 'left foot', and 'right foot'. I can point to each of them.

And I recognise lots of animals now: mole, guinea pig, peacock, owl, frog, crocodile, tiger, lion, giraffe, elephant, goat.... you name it, I know it. Ah, don't forget the snale: I know the snale. You know I fish them from our pond and squeeze them.

Perhaps the most difficult words to learn are on and off. The light is off and I switch it on. Then the light is on and I switch it off. ??? This is confusing. Also confusing is small and large. Is something small or large. But then there is always something larger.... or smaller.

My memory is now also longer. I remember things for a long time, actually. At least a couple of weeks.
