sweet nothings...

heh, it was the only way I could get her to stop squirming around
She likes to listen to the phone when it's been off the hook too long and starts to beep!

Maybe she's on the phone to an Italian toddler friend "...mamma mia! I can't believe how cold it is here! You should see the food they expect me to eat too! Bleugh! Ok, see you when I get back! Ciao bella!"

hehe, I like it
Now Eilidh is up on her feet we are constantly having to keep an eye on what she is up to when she is here, she wants to investigate everything and pull everything down within her reach! It's a constant battle keeping her apart from Rhona the dog too!

Rhona is jealous of all the attention Eilidh is getting, she looks a bit depressed, poor thing. I cuddle her as much as I can, feed her biscuits and take her out for walks, but she still isn't happy with the fact that she isn't the centre of attention at the moment!

She is used to being the worshipped one, it will be back to normal for her now though...until the next Eilidh visit.

chezchaton: I think that when Eilidh starts to have proper conversations it will be in Italian. But she understands English just as well, so she will eventually speak that just as fluently. My sister speaks to her in English all the time. I think that she can understand a lot more than she can speak too!

(what does 'viande' mean?)

lorenzocelsi: Eilidh is a Scottish name, it is pronounced 'A-lee' (like the 'a' in the word 'age' or 'apricot') the dh at the end is not pronounced. In Italy she gets called 'Eye lid!' I am sure that when she can speak she will set them right though

Yes, her name is gaelic It is only 2 syllables here though, with the emphasis on the first 'ei'
Yes, I thought your second name must be Celsi

your name had three syllables

I think that maybe Scottish people would pronounce your name properly...we don't miss out our 'r's like English people do! If anything we roll them just like an Italian would

what is?

you're welcome
