Brothers

Sometime in the past few days (I first heard it yesterday, Marli says she heard it a few days previous) Kenshin learned to call his brother by his name.

For quite some time now (a few months at least), Kenshin has been able to point at Daigoro when asked "Where's Daigoro", but he's never actually called him "Daigoro".

Yesterday and today he's been calling him Daigoro.

Also, another milestone for Kenshin - on Saturday we left the children with their ba-chan and gi-chan for the day. When we arrived at the door Saturday evening, he said quite clearly, looking from one to the other of us, "Hi Daddy, hi mummy."

Once again, pretty run-of-the-mill for most parents of two and a half-year-olds, fairly substantial progress for Kenshin.
