Everything is fine. I just wanted to write a few words about the language development. Big Munchkin is talking non-stop and producing more and more of 'perls'.

- Mummy, is it a mushroom?
- Yes, it is.
- Do you mash it?
- Well, you can mash a mushroom, but only if you are making a pate. You normally fry or boil mushrooms.
- Why do you call them MUSH-rooms then?
- Well......

(2) Little Munchkin used to have a pompom on his hat (it is a fluffy ball on top of the hat). It fell off, after much tugging on his part. Big Munchkin noticed that the pompom is missing.
- Mum, where is his pompom?
- It fell off.
- Too bad, he looks like a pompom kind of guy.

Little Munchkin's vocabulary is also increasing. The problem is his diction. Unless you know what he is going to say, you are not going to guess what he is saying. Other than that, he can count up to 10. He can say truck, which sounds more like 'twuk'. He can say star, circle, blue. Blue is his favourite colour.

He can say quite a big part of alphabet. He recognises some of the letters, but gets lost if he tries to say alphabet from the beginning. Often he employs a shortcut ' A, B, C, Y, Z'. He claps after every successful action, e.g. he builds a tower of blocks and claps.

He likes songs: his favourites are 'The Wheels on the Bus', 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star', 'If You Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands', 'Shake your Sillies Out', 'Row, Row Your Boat', and few others. He does the actions for all of the them and tries to sing. It is very funny. His language and overall development is still a way off from Big Munchkin's but he is developing, and it is very reassuring.
