Big Words and Beards

Chocolate cake mixture beard

Ever since he learned how, Toby has loved talking. Loved being able to ask for things, being able to tell us how he feels or just to tell us stories. And now that his imagination has just expanded in such an intense way over the last few months, he loves talking more than ever. He delights in the way we laugh at him with the things he says, and he likes to challenge himself to use the new words that he hears.

Paper Beard

Especially long ones. He seems to love those the most at the moment....
Incredible. Ridiculous. Impressive. Enormous. Astounding. Amazing. Delicious.
That he pronounces them properly and uses them correctly in sentences amazes me.

He loves for me to copy everything he says. And he loves to ask me to ask him a question -
"Mummy, say does that taste good Ti-Ti?" "OK, does that taste good?" "Yes Mummy, it's incredible and delicious"

Ice cream beard (after falling down the stairs.....amazing how ice cream can heal wounds)

How can I not fall about laughing when he does that?
