W is for…

W Alexandra came out of reception today with chocolate smudged on her face and a ripped open package of Maltesers in her hand. Half were still stuffed in her cheek, bulging like a hamster.

Who's birthday was it today? I asked knowingly.

I'll give you a hint. It starts with a wah, she said slipping her slightly sticky hand into mine.

William?

No.

Woebegone?

No silly. That's not a name.

Wilma?

Noooooooo.

Who was is it then?

Rosie!

    Ahhh that;s so cute. Miss M says her ‘r’s like that too and I love it. 😀

    How sweet. My daughter, Belle is in reception too and learning to read and write which is both exciting and a little sad if you know what I mean. She’s the youngest and no more.xxx

    Definitely the fault of the Maltesers! It’s all the honeycombe… OK it must be tea time as I’m drooling now!

    We have a squirrel that we feed each day who my daugther decided to call Boombah. He often takes off after his feeding frenzy with a face full of peanuts… and now all I can imagine is a little girl with bulging cheeks! Very sweet.

    That’s adorable.

    Yesterday was “F” day at school so the little guy picked up his Spiderman phone to take in. I don’t think he was convinced by my explanation at all.

    Isn’t she just gorgeous. For me, W is for Wombles 😀 x

    That is too cute! I love it.

    What a sweet story. The English language is so complicated. You realize that when your kid is learning to read and write and says stuff like, “Cinderella starts with S,” and you have to explain the whole hard and soft C thing. Not to mention the silent letters… oh, how any of us ever learn how to read it beyond me.

    So sweet! My daughter’s best friend is called Sawah (that’s why she calls herself!). Ciao. A.

    With maltesers in your mouth, she is probably correct.

  21. Rosie Scribble | 25th Feb 09

    Hey! Rosie is a great name!! And I’ve been called Wosie many a time. Kids say the cutiest things!

  22. SingleParentDad | 25th Feb 09

    Wossy goes to your kid’s nursery? Impressive.
