I'm not sure what it all means. He wants to write more, " fd23422wAz HCQS5G35T4EGGG33333311111XXXXX2DDDDDDDDDTF " there he goes again. I've put him on the floor now, but he's just standing up and trying to get to the keys.
What I was trying to do was say how clever he had been earlier. Mum had given him a book the other day and taught him to point to certain pictures, like a car, a bird and a toothbrush. This evening I tried to trick him by asking him to point to the toothbrush while I had open a different page. I thought he was maybe just pointing to a certain place on the page without knowing what he was pointing at. Anyway, he started turning the pages and when we opened it to the page with the toothbrush on, he pointed straight at it.
As if this wasn't good enough, I later asked him where the toothbrush was when he was stood up by his walker. Mum thought this was just silly, but he sat down, crawled over to his book, turned the pages and pointed at the picture of the toothbrush. Mum now reckons I owe him 100 pounds for extreme cleverness, but I don't remember promising that.
Today John received in the post a present from my cousin Robert (I forget what relation that makes him of John) and Dorotheé. It's a top from the Lake Atitlán region of Guatemala. Rob and Dorotheé were there a few months ago, but Rob temporarily lost the present! John hasn't had chance to wear it yet, but he has wrapped a few things in it! I just looked up the place on Encarta Atlas to check the spelling (Rob's handwriting is as good as mine) and found an example of Guatemalan Marimba music. John had a good boogie to it.
Must go and post this now and then try to persuade John that it is bed-time!
John is having a massive laugh at the moment. His mum is playing hide and seek with him. His laugh is just so infectious. When you are trying to get him to go to sleep you have to make sure you don't look at him, or he grins at you and you crack up and then you are both laughing and he is not sleepy at all.
