7th January, 2003.

I'm not going to look. All I can hear is her counting aloud to herself somewhere behind me, and then happily announcing "Cooking with gas!"

Interestingly, whatever she's counting only numbers as high as 20 - is it coincidence that the total matches her number of fingers and toes, or does she simply stop counting when she runs out of digits?.


She's now giving her brain verbal instructions on what to do: "Come on, brain, start working!"

At least this confirms my theory that her mouth operates independantly of her brain.
