Caca. That's poo in Spanish

Just to update you, mami really should not worry about me talking - I let her know loud and clear what I was up to this morning.

When she came to get me out of my crib, I looked up at her and said "CACA" (poo in Spanish). She was so happy I had said a word, she just laughed and said "Si, caca. Poof! Let's get you changed"

But when she bent down to pick me up, she saw the horror I had been sitting in. "Yuck!" She yelled out and suddenly she realised she was stepping in something mushy. I just stood there and I pointed at my bottom.

I was covered in it! I had never seen it come out the side of my leg that way. Must be the new nappies, not very good I'd say.

So you gotta understand I tried my best to clean it up. I threw it out of the crib, I rubbed it on the side of the wall and wiped my hands on my sheets. Of course, I was just trying to help.

Mami quickly wiped her toes, you should have seen her face, so funny! Then she ran to start the bath and in I went. Ahhh, just what I needed.

I said "caca" again and clapped. She looked at me, sighed and said "Si, caca. Muy bien/very good".

At least she gave me credit for getting the word right. It wasn't easy you know.

I love mami. Even if she did make me sit in my caca.

Dear mami

Dear mami, 

I love you a lot and I missed you and daddy when you were gone.

Abuelita/grandma and I almost melted here in London because it was so hot, but we made it. Next time can I go with you please?

We did lots and lots of things.

First thing abuelita did was cut my hair! She heard daddy say I had a “mullet” and she cut little bits off the back. Did you see she put my curls in a bag for you?
Because it was so hot, abuelita let me hang out naked! Yesssss! No nappy and no shirt. I was just drinking my cold juice when suddenly water came right out of my willy! I did this twice this weekend, once behind the TV and another time next to your bed. I think you stepped in it. Sorrrrrry!

My teeth hurt again! I woke up at night and I don’t think abuelita was too happy about me crying. But just for you to know, she didn’t get up right away. You may want to have a “quick talk”with her.  Just like you do with daddy.

te quiero mami y papi/I love you mami and daddy

I'm very close to saying my first big boy word. I've been holding back - but when I shout out "heeeh" that’s my way of saying Hola/Hello. And "neh -neh- neh" is how I pronounce "no". Remember mami, I have a British accent, you don’t.

Oh, and you know that baby gate you put in the living room to keep me from playing by the fireplace? Well, you can just put it away because I can squeeze through any opening! Got between the sofa and the gate and abuelita couldn’t find me! 

She kept saying “Little M, Little M ¿dónde estas?/where are you?” So funny! Got black stuff on my hands and I made a little drawing for you on the wall by bookshelf. Did you see it?

Lastly, don’t be upset with abuelita, but she gave me candy when we went to the fair on Saturday. It was so yummy!

I drew this picture for you it says I love you very much mami and daddy and I am so happy that you are back and take me with you next time.

te quiero mucho
Little M
