Pumpkin, peas and carrots for lunch

Rory pumpkinOne day Rory found this photo. He showed it to his Dad, Damon and said,  ‘Dad’, tell me the story about this picture when I was a baby.’

‘Well…’, said Damon, ‘…this day I gave you mashed pumpkin, peas and carrots for lunch.You ended up with food in your hair, between your toes, on your eyebrows, up your nose. We had to have a bath! Looks to me like your enjoying yourself’. ‘I am!’ said Rory.

‘Aaaah-aah – ah!’ means ‘Go Rory!’

From their earliest days children are drawn into the chatter and goings-on of everyday family life.

They listen. They watch. They make sounds. They cry. They laugh. They babble and blurt. They squint and scrunch. They wave and nod.

Before long they are using their own sounds and words  to let us know what they know, how they feel, and what they want. They are on their way.
