This is going to be a quick one as it's ten to three in the morning and I have to be in Midland by 10:30am. It's St. Patrick's Day today, so our gig has been shifted to during the day... Easy, I'll have the night off thank you very much... I went over to my brother Chris' house today to help out with some tech issue; it often seems that's mainly the reason I go over... but what an excuse to see my niece Ella. My brother Kieran who has been having a few rough trots lately often visits our niece, and I can see why. She'll brighten anyone's day. She actually called me 'Courtney' today... well it was more like 'Court NEE'. But she got it, she just likes to flavour her words a little I guess. No harm in that. For so long I've been hanging out for when she starts talking more than her usual word 'Dunna'. Dunna is her word for everything she can't say. But now she's on the move, vocab style. What cracked me up considerably was when we were hanging out doing our thing, and she was milling around the front end of the house, when we heard her say 'Daddy... Man...' with an ever-so-slight sense of urgency in her voice... to which Chris thought she was saying he was a man. "Yes Ella, Daddy's a man". Her response was that of repetition this time with a slight more importance... She had actually seen a postal dude fast approaching the door with a package; she was letting her daddy know that there was a man at the door. Not bad for a 2 year old I reckon. Just mintox. I'm slowly but surely coming around to the idea of having a child. If it turns out like Ella, then why not say I? Love Court.
