Liddle 'lovee' beaudee

Soon after we'd successfully put Evelyn to bed this evening, Jilly was at the bottom of the stairs when she heard Evelyn talking to herself in bed [when the liddle monkey should have been asleep!]

"Evie, lovee, lovee, Daddy",
"Evie, lovee, lovee, Mummy",
"Evie, lovee, lovee, Tee-tee"
"Evie, lovee, lovee, Dom",
"Evie, lovee, lovee, Jim",
"Evie, lovee, lovee, Henney",
"Evie, lovee, lovee, Nanny",
"Evie, lovee, lovee, Poppy".

Evie went through just about all the lovee-lovees she knows before finally falling asleep and snorking away.

And...earlier today, Evelyn successfully described where the Duffy [a.k.a., 'The Gruffalo'] lives. Evelyn refers, with great concentration and determination, to the 'deeeep dart wood'. Every word is carefully pronounced [though she still can't pronounce the 'ka' sound], and she is obviously very pleased with herself on completing the sentence.
