Tiarnan tells daddy what to do

On the 5th of December 2006, I roared at Tiarnan, like a lion. He has been known to roar back. This time he did something different. He looked at me, and, in his little high voice said: "Don't do that!"

It was funny to hear him assert himself, so clearly. It is marvellous to see his personality solidify and grow stronger. He is becoming a little man on little feet, with his own opinion on matters - and willing to express it when he can.

For those who are not familiar with babies, they usually do not use three word sentences until the age of 23 months (this is the average point). So, Tiarnan's use of them, these past few months, is rather unusual. Tiarnan Hasyl Cawley is now ten months old.
