\nI cannot have been particularly diligent when taking notes for this month’s Ingrid update, for as soon as I had posted it, new things came to mind that I wished I had written about.\n<\/p>\n
\nSuch as the fact that Ingrid now likes ice cream. She used to find it too cold – happy to lick a spoon dipped in mostly-melted ice cream, but not actually eat it. Now she’s not exactly wolfing it down, still mostly licking the soft edges, but definitely appreciates it. Ice cream has displaced candy; she hardly ever remembers to ask for sweets now.\n<\/p>\n
\nOr our continued enjoyment of drawing and writing together. As before, we begin by me writing a short word for some common object. She then spells it out and asks me “Mis see kokku tuleb?” (“What does that make?”). I draw the object, slowly, and as soon as she sees what it is, she shouts out: “Auto!”.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis month she’s actually learned to recognize two of the simplest words, puu<\/i> (tree) and kuu<\/i> (moon) – she shouts out the word before I’ve begun to draw it. So I make sure to draw at least one of those every time. I’ve tried suu<\/i> (mouth) as well but it’s hard to draw a recognizable mouth without a face around it. And I’ve tried uss<\/i> (snake) but she doesn’t recognize that one yet, and definitely none of the four-letter ones. I’ll have to find more three-letter words somehow.\n<\/p>\n
\nOh, and today I saw tooth #18 appear as well. Number 17 was a molar on the lower right, and this one is its left-hand companion.\n<\/p>\n
\nCurrent favourite movies: Wallace and Gromit<\/i>, and Kalles kl\u00e4ttertr\u00e4d<\/i>. There’s no clear favourite among books, but we read a lot of Villi<\/i><\/a>, Kuula! Kuula!<\/i><\/a>, and Rongisõit<\/i><\/a>, and in Swedish Stora vinterboken<\/i><\/a> and Visst kan Lotta cykla<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I cannot have been particularly diligent when taking notes for this month’s Ingrid update, for as soon as I had posted it, new things came to mind that I wished I had written about.
