			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Some back story to set the scene &#8211; didi is the colloquial Mandarin word for penis.
As usual, this morning I was having a shower with Dexie.  He was doing what little boys do when they don&#8217;t have their  nappy on, when he looked at me and asked &#8220;Your didi?&#8221; Presumably he wondered where my penis was!
I guess this is the start of him learning the difference between boys and girls&#8230; Good luck to him!
I told his FDCarer about this when I picked him up and she mentioned that Dexie is speaking Mandarin words when he talks to the other Mandarin speaking children there. Of course, he&#8217;s only speaking at a two year old level, but it&#8217;s still pretty cool. 
A is frustrated because Dexie will only use English with us.  I just think he&#8217;s clever enough to know we&#8217;d have no idea what he&#8217;s saying!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We seem to have an issue with Willow at the moment &#8211; she has no fear of strangers.  The other day after taking her to see a movie, we stopped to look in some shops.  I turned my back and she&#8217;d started telling an elderly man trying on shoes, about the movie.  When we were in Melbourne, she gave one of my friend&#8217;s son&#8217;s friends a big hug when we saw her at the playground.  My friend had barely said hello to her and Willow went rushing over to cuddle her. 
At Harbourtown she started talking to a random woman who was standing next to the ride she was on.  Of course, Dexie imitates anything she does at the moment, so he ran over and started saying &#8220;digger, digger, digger!&#8221;
So I figured it was time for a chat.  I said that we shouldn&#8217;t hug people if we don&#8217;t know their names.  I didn&#8217;t want to say that we shouldn&#8217;t talk to them if we don&#8217;t know their names &#8211; what if she got lost one day. The next bit I struggled with &#8211; I hate to diminish her innocence so I explained that some people aren&#8217;t always nice and they don&#8217;t deserve her hugs.  She looked at me and said &#8220;Are they allergic to my hugs?&#8221;
What do you say to that?!
I&#8217;ve been looking through my photos &#8211; this is her at about 2 weeks old.  

She was only 2.8kg when she was born, so she looked like a skinned rabbit.  Of course I thought (and still think) that she was the most beautiful thing in the world.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ok, so I&#8217;m not a whiz with the camera and we only have a point and shoot, but I love this photo.  If I kneel or squat down, Dexie will copy me.  This time he posed for me.  Mind the scratch on his face, he fell over yet again.  

Just before I took this photo I was standing in the lounge room talking to A.  Dexie brought a chair over, stood on it and leaned up to give me a kiss.  Magic.
