Hannah
I just love interacting with little people when they first start talking and letting you know what is going on in their little brains. Here are some of my favourite incidents with Hannah - bear in mind that she was between 2 years and 3 to 6 months at the time : -
Hannah rushed out of the manse into the road without looking out for oncoming traffic. Arthur was a little ahead of her, and reprimanded her saying, "You know you must always hold a hand when you walk in the street!" She stood there, thought a little, then clasped her left hand with her right hand, and carried on walking....
She is learning all about big things, vs small ones, and constantly tells you that something is bigger or smaller than another. The other day I was on the toilet, when she walked in. She stood looking at me for a moment or two, then announced, "You've got a big bum; I've got a little bum".
One day, she was acting up, and being difficult. I picked her up and told her, "You're just a little rubbish". To my surprise, she replied, "Not rubbish -- The Best". I later on found out that Arthur tells her "Hannah is the Best".
Hannah loves feeling Graeme's beard. The other Sunday, she was sitting at the back of the church with me, when Graeme left the pulpit, came forward, and announced, "Let us pray." Like a shot, she ran down the aisle to Gampa, and held up her arms for him to pick her up, which he did. She quickly ran her little fingers up and down his beard, jumped out of his arms, and ran back to me..... (One wonders what went through her mind at that particular moment.) Graeme just carried on praying as if nothing unusual had happened.
