more adventures in parenthood
Lorne's told you about Kai's "who has a belly" game, right? It's expanded a bit: we've started work on "who has a nose/toes/mouth/eyes" etc., since that's one of the things you're supposed to do at this age. So Kai and I go through it, you know, "Where's Kai's nose? Where's Tada's nose? Where's Matilda's nose?" and so on, and he usually gets it right.
So last night we were playing and I started asking him in Welsh, just to see how much he's picking up, Where's Kai's nose? Where's Kai's toes? Where's Mattie's tail? Does Kai have a tail?
He got it all right.
He still doesn't have much to say, in English or Welsh, and what he does say is mostly one word and not always too clear, but he understands what we say to him and responds to it.
We're a bilingual household. I'm so pleased.
(And yes, he does say "No!" in two languages, too. He's a two-year-old. He learned that first, I think.)

And it does make a nice change from English.

Which he laughed at, by the way.
It does. I've missed speaking Welsh so much.
no subject
That's because he's got a great sense of humor.
Mmm...and you know I like it when you speak Welsh, baby.
no subject
He does, doesn't he.
I know you do, but speaking Welsh in bed isn't the same as speaking Welsh the rest of the time. I'm not going to say "yes, more, baby, Goddamn," a lot around Kai.
no subject
That's because he takes after his dads.
What you say has very little bearing on what my reaction will be. You could say, "I think I forgot to turn off the stove," in bed, and I'd react the same as I do to "yes, more, baby, Goddamn."

*cracks up* God, I love you.

What? I think Welsh is sexy, that's all.

And not just 'cause you're sexy.

And I like your ass.

And if you had a tail, I'd like that too.
