Livre d'Or

Regarding Civ II: You silly chicken.
Yeah, I know. *sqirm*

I'm amazed at how old B is
So'm I, really; I hadn't seen him since the middle of last year or something and he's really different. The little one too; he's walking and I think of him as a baby. (He's a bit disconcerting cos he's really tiny; I'm all like, what's that little bitty baby doing walking and running, but actually he's 2 so it's quite reasonable.)

last time I recall you mentioning him, he couldn't even talk properly
He still can't, really, not what I'd call properly. He still sounds really babyish, mispronounces a lot of words, calls things by the wrong names and his grammar is kind of idiosyncratic. And when he gets shy and nervous his speech degenerates completely into babble. It's quite strange, cos his hearing and his intelligence are both fine, and his parents are obviously highly articulate. I'm sure he'll get there eventually though.

Time doesn't work right.
You are so right. It really doesn't!
