The other day, Biddy was listening to me talking to mum about something or other and I must have got to an exciting part of the story when she clasps her hands to the sides of her face and exclaims "ohh my GORGEOUS" (obviously meaning "oh my goodness"!!)
We are gearing up for Bella's christening on the weekend and I have a couple of cake books out on the counter, deliberating over what one I will copy for the christening cake. Tom has taken quite a shine to them and has been pouring over them for part of the afternoon deciding which cake he will have for his 6th birthday. The fact that his birthday is 10 months away has alluded him.
But one of the books has an index which has a picture of each of the cakes. He proudly reads them all off to Mark tonight just before going to bed and it was extremely interesting to hear how a 5 year old's brain works as he named each cake. Where you and I would have just commented on the overall theme of the cake (ie. mouse, boat, tractor etc), he had a story attached to each one. But the funny thing was, he tacked on the word 'cake' to each one.
So for instance, the Noah's Ark cake, he told us it was "the animals marched by 2 by 2 hurrah, hurrah ...cake" and the haunted castle one was "the zombie cake with the ghosts coming out of the windows.....cake" and another was the "baby pram that is Isabella's party cake for Sunday...cake" LOL.
Yep...the funny things kids say.
