Guys and neigh neighs

Its been interesting to have more two way interaction with Curtis since he's been talking more. Rather than assume what he may want to eat, or whether he'd want to walk, be carried, read a book or play he tells us what he wants to do fairly well. He says yes a lot which we really must enjoy just now before we reach the stage when he says no to everything. He has a very exagerrated and slow nod of the head along with a yesssssss when he agress with you and still uses a repetoire of no's from silly playful no's to defiant and angry ones. His repetoire of animals increases with a mixture of names and sounds: horses are neigh neighs, monkeys are aaah aaahs, dogs are ooooof oooofs, whilst ducks, cockerels, cats, frogs and others go by their name. The one we struggled to get for some time was cow. He'd been saying what sounded like guy for days before we made the link to his Belfast born Nannas recent visit. The guys are of course cows (coys - ooh thats hard to get right phonetically) with a fairly strong Irish accent! For other words he has a Scottish accent, especially when he exclaims with hands outstretched a very dramatic 'Oooooh Noooooo' to any calamity he encounters.
