Calling Daddy By His Name

[blizz]

have the opposite problem daddy is definately 'daddy" but cooking tea the other night my 16mth old daughter stood at the safety gate and called out 'aaa-wwee, aaa-wwee, aaa-wwee" I seem to be getting 'mummy' less frequenty hope it is just a phase (but it still sounded cute)

LOL!! Aren't they all just so adorably cute?!?!

We too have a parrot on our hands But the funny thing is she has heard me answer the phone and I always say, "Hello, ****** speaking" so now DD runs around with her toy mobile saying "Hello, ****** speaking" as well! I actually don't think she has any real concept of what she is saying. She will also copy DH & I when we talk to each other

I must admit though that I am not a real fan of calling each other 'mummy' and 'daddy' when we are addressing each other if DD is around. (Obviously we will use mummy and daddy when talking to DD though) I think it is possible that we can teach her as I think it's just a phase that alot of little ones go through.

So we're just not making a huge deal of it.................just making sure our huge grins are somewhat stifled and hidden so as not to encourage our little rascal as she'll work out she gets a giggle out of us and so increase her cheekiness, little rabbit!
