Bethany's current favourite phrase is "Whatsthat?" which she repeatedly pronounces whilst pointing at the object in question awaiting an answer. However endearing this was initially soon became tiresome on our part although we try our best to humour her through gritted teeth. I like to encourage her curiosity and when she opened a book at a cartoon of various animals she repeatedly asked me what they were the other day, To amuse myself as well as her after the third or fourth time of announcing "That's a turkey" or "That's a sheep" I thought I would spice things up by providing the relevant barnyard noise to accompany their name. Clucks, honks and baas were all well and good but rather than going "oink, oink" when she pointed to the pig I preferred to actually snort. Unfortunately for me, Bethany took a particular liking to this impression and continued to repeatedly point at the pig to hear me snort much to the detriment of the back of my throat.
Currently we are now counting down until we go away next week with Alison sorting her wardrobe out selecting clothes and I may try and buy some more T-shirts before we go although to not be at work will be a break enough at the moment. Rather than book all my holidays out I tend to keep going until I get fed up and take a week off excepting whatever fortnight is available in the summer and time off around our birthdays. Excepting the odd day for when we went to Reading it's been a couple of months since any significant time off so I'm relishing the chance to catch up at home and relax before setting off down Norfolk.
