Since leaving the waters and coming home 16 months ago I have spent all of that time discovering my new life. It has been nothing less than adventurous, and each day the world around me is becoming more and more clear.
None of this would have been possible without mami and daddy’s love and milk, of course!
Thankfully they have given me the freedom to explore a little bit more each day – even if it meant getting hand, foot and mouth disease, falling off the bed, and chipping a tooth!
Back on the 16th of May I put together the 16 discoveries I have made in the past 16 months.
Here they are – in no particular order:
1.I’m not British! This one confused me also. Turns out I’m half Chilean, half American but I was born here in the UK. Oh, and I also speak Spanish; ¡es verdad!
2.My smile is my secret weapon. No matter how upset I’ve made mami, I just smile at her and its all forgotten.
3.Mami and daddy are not morning people – In fact, I have to wake them up every day.
4.Daddy pretends not to smell my poopy nappy and leaves it for mami to change.
5.Best defence is to have teeth! I can chew more and mami is not as quick to stick her fingers in my mouth.
6.Speaking of teeth, teething bites! Nothing more painful than that.
7.Some mornings mami is just too tired and we stay in our jammies into the afternoon – then tells daddy we’ve been out all day!
8.When mami is really tired, she tells daddy she’s given me a bath – when she’s only used a wet cloth.
9.When daddy is not around, mami voluntarily gives me the remote.
10.Lint is yummy, so are ladybugs and other random pickings off the ground.
11.Sometimes when we are out and mami gets hungry she eats my rice crackers and takes half of my banana.
12.I can nearly outrun mami and daddy, mostly because she has to stop tweeting and put down her blackberry.
13.I can climb on top of the coffee table and slide off on the other side – this one really makes mami nervous and daddy laugh.
14.Mami lets me chew on daddy’s blackberry, but when I’m about to get a little taste of hers, she quickly takes it away!
15.Books are an excellent source of fiber.
16.The bit between my legs is my willy! I discovered it in the bath. Mami was serious at first, but then smiled and said “Yes, Little M, you are a boy.”
So there you have it – I’m a boy, I love lint and I poo way too much – its been a fantastic 16 months!
