When I change Toby’s nappy on the change table, Nathan usually climbs up the change table shelves so that can watch. One of our nappy changes today went like this:
Me: put Toby onto the change table
Nathan: climbs the change table to watch
Nathan: Mummy, go away
Me: You want Mummy to go away? Why?
Nathan: Nathan look after Toby.

For a while now Nathan has been using the word ‘um’, particularly before a ‘yes’ or ‘no’. We have been trying to convince him that it is not a real word and talk him out of using it. He, however, thinks it is a good word. Our conversations go something like…
Nathan: um, yes.
Mummy: um isn’t a real word, just say yes
Nathan: um is word
Mummy: um is not a word
Nathan: Um is good word!
Andrew decided to get me to look it up in the dictionary to convince Nathan that it is not a word, asuming it wouldn’t be there. Of course it was, and now Nathan calls the dictionary the ‘um book’.
Nathan had just woken up….
Nathan: Daddy work
Mummy: Yes, Daddy is at work
Nathan: Daddy buy elephant
Mummy: Has Daddy gone to work so he can buy elephants?
Nathan: [nod] Buy Nathan elephants! [Big smile]
