baby reading - M__PIE

At breakfast this morning, the magpies were looking through the compost ... so said to Winston .. this is a magpie. I told him I would write it down for him. I did this although he wasnt really paying attention. When I showed it to him  he said "M...Pie"  .. i.e. he knows the word Pie and he knows the letter M, so he was having a good effort at reading a word he didn't know.

Other new stuff.  Winston can climb on his own triptrap chair.  He pulled his trousers down the other day before being taken to the toilet. (its hard to walk with your trousers round your ankles).

Winston is combine two words now... usually Daddy's spoon,  Winston's (didis) fork etc.   Who it belongs to and what it is.

When i tell him not to do something and say a nice clear NO ... he ofter wanders off to where the word no is written on the wall and points at it.

In the car driving around he says letters that he sees.

He still prefers the home made books to the bought ones and can easily identify them by there (text only) covers.

Numbers .. 1 to 4 is fine.. above that is guesswork . Like some remote tribes .

Winston is 18months and 2 weeks old.
