I wannit.

Cora is talking more and more, which is a relief because she can finally express to us what she has previously been trying to communicate through pointing and head butting.

The one phrase that she keeps saying is "I want it." which comes out as "I wannit." It is a very useful phrase and makes sense when she points to a muffin or a DVD. Lately, she has started pointing at objects like tower cranes and kookaburras. The communication starts to break down when we try to explain why a commuter train will not fit in the car to take home with us or other practical matters that interfere with her plans. It is at this point when she furrows her brow, disgusted with our lack of ambition, and turns her head to dream up the next scheme she will take on.
