Being Specific

We've found that Asher's particular about the source of his milk and he's learned to make known his preferences. For the last couple of months, when he wants milk he'll say, "muk muk". He calls me, "Ma Ma", so when he wants to nurse he says, "ma muk" - mummy's milk.

I was quite intrigued when I first realised it was consistent. He'd always be asking for "ma muk, ma muk" around naptime and bedtime. Then around the times he usually takes his FM, he'd ask for "muk muk". If he sees his cup of milk he'll point and say, "muk". Try to give him "muk" when he wants "ma muk" and you're in for a fight. But "ma muk" trumps "muk" anytime :)
