when I was 3 or 4 I used to go around quoting yeats at people and asking my ma if she thought life was hard. i was clearly well set up for life as an arts student. "do you want to go and walk among the long dappled grass?" indeed.

Was at a Baby Rave on Sunday, someone from French TV wanted to "interview" Isabelle so I said ok. So they fired up the camera and the woman says "So, Isabelle, do you like dancing? What do you like about the baby rave?" She says "Dad, can I stop talking to this lady now?"

egg_ jr. calls my ma "Mamo" and my da "Grandjohn"

So last weekend she says:
"Mamo and Grandjohn are the same person"

Cue laughter from me and Niamh

"Don't be laughing guys!"

This is a little uncanny - Isobel's maternal grandparents are Mamo and Dadjoe...

Her finest moments in quotes:
Two and a half years old she announces 'life is a dream......and a joke'

Around the same time she delivered this memorable piece of blank verse:
Sunshine is beautiful
The sun goes down
The moon goes up
The wall falls down
When the wind blows
I like to say hello!

These kind of things really freak me out.

Sankyboosh, I'm going to quote your nipper.

"Say 'Daddy'. Can you say 'Daddy'?"

Snakynipper says, "Mommy," then laughs her head off.

She's fricking hilarious. Also, hello, I know kids are always cuter in person, but yours are like some kind of unearthly creatures. Are you sure they're fully human, and not, I dunno, half sugarglider or something?
