TO is the gift that keeps giving. Sadly, I don’t know how to switch it off!
I was helping him out with some comprehension sentences when the name Elizabeth came up. He knows Elizabeth mainly in conjunction with the Queen and Buckingham palace and automatically tacked on “The Queen” in front of the name leading to a lot of hilarity.
A short while later while he was pestering me for a hug and I aquiesced, he jumped on me and called me his “Precious” in the tones Smeagol used to have before he became Gollum.
Yikes!
Yet another thing that they don’t tell you in the parenting books!
