Old Before His Time

Oscar's talking is coming on in leaps and bounds, and he now uses full sentences which often sound like they should be coming from the lips of a 1940's public schoolboy (I have absolutely no idea how this happened). At his birthday party he was in full swing, telling everyone 'how lovely' it was to see them, and praising them on their choice of attire, which to me seems a bit quirky for a two-year old (but very sweet nevertheless). He hangs on every word that the grown ups around him are saying and repeats it back to them at a later date. He stood up after having his nappy changed last night, rubbed his back gingerly and said 'oooooh I'm sooooo stiff today'. It's probably a good thing that we have lots of visits from his little mates and he sees other children at playgroup, or we would be caring for someone with the body of a toddler and the brain of a slightly confused pensioner.
