Boddler advice just, don’t.

[sodit]

sounds like a scouser then that’s so cute though! I think as long as their babbling and hitting different variations/pitches then it’s all ok (that’s what I’ve been told).
lil’pidge comes out with some random words and literally never says them again. but she does repeat words we don’t understand. Ahgee being daddy which we cracked and ageh which is either again or okay… we’re still working them out

her favourite thing at the minute is putting her finger on her lips and telling us to “shhh” not sure whether it’s endearing or rude

This reminds me of months ago, who was saying they had a bragger at baby group who said their tiny baby was advanced cos they could say 'agoo'. Then someone looked it up and theres a place in the Philippines called Agoo. I think of it often when my boddler is chatting away in his own language

This will sound so bad but there are 6 days between TMe and my friend’s son, and they are both equally “behind” so it makes me feel better I’m dreading summer as we will meet my nephew for the first time as he is 3 months younger, but from what we are told he speaks a lot and I’m so worried about comparisons being made and TMe being thought of negatively

Awww I do know how you feel. And I know deep down every child is different. But as a mum and a person, I would never say 'my child does this, my child does that' because I know all children are different and I'm very aware of how i feel when other mums say to me this, and make me feel like they are comparing their children. So, like you , I worry about how people may see my child in terms of development. I think some people (well in my circle) see it as a bit of a competition when its not.
I always remember one of my mates saying to me when my son reached one and he had no teeth 'no teeth? At one?? Aren't you feeding him right? That's never right???!!' I was so upset. Now a few months later he's got that many teeth he's like a piano keyboard!
So even though I'm guilty of it, try and not let it worry you, all children are different and they all have their leaps in development at different times. Xxx

Then they turn around and say “maybe my babies previous life was in Agoo, in the Philippines, so special 🥹”
I love the Boddler language and life so much… I don’t know half the tit she’s saying, but I’m here for it

Of all the the things, I mean you have literally no control over teeth (you have no control over any of their milestones in reality but teeth seems a particularly arbitrary thing to get competitive over).

My favourite thing is when she babbles off a sentence of absolute nonsense and then laughs hysterically while gesturing, because what she’s saying is so funny

What is it about the health visitor coming that instills fear in you. I’ve scrubbed the house from top to bottom and still worrying what she’ll think is something out of place.
Worst thing is she’s not here until Thursday so it’ll be a mess again by then anyway

It’s a new one this time my last one was plain but nice. I’ve been that concerned they’ll check everywhere I even scrubbed the toilets

But she says "Noonees" for Noodles and I think it's too cute to correct her so she may just call them Noonees forever

I am such a sucker for this. Things that he says which are so cute and I just say it too, very unhelpful of me. He calls crisps “bisbies” (like crispies) and now I just call them that as well. Poor child doesn’t stand a chance

This is the most accurate boddler statement in history.

This gives me “EMMA JUST SAID GLEBA” vibes

Well we had a fairly positive Boddler day here. After months of struggling to settle at play group which we go to on a Tuesday, the last few have been great and today he was loving it - charging around, even trying some new toys, just carrying his beaker of milk around like some Boddler gangster.

He’s now definitely saying mama at me and seems to have linked the word with me - makes my heart melt now just to try and get him to say dada, and anything else really!

I gave a plate of picky foods again at lunch and just put it in the living room for him, didn’t offer any crisps as he would usually just eat those and nothing else. He had some toast, orange and a biscuit (obv) and tonight had some jacket potato and beans.

I’m sure tomorrow I’ll be tearing my hair outagain but today I was like…. Ooh there is some progress going on!! (We’ll ignore the tantrum this afternoon when I had to shut him out the kitchen as sharp knives were involved…. Then the forlorn “mama…” when I went back in to him)
