“Meh” — Milk
“Jusse” — Juice
“Musse” — Basically, milk, but preferably juice. Anything but water.
“Side” — Outside. She doesn’t know inside yet, so doesn’t really need the distinction.
“Sassomo” — Samosa (no, really!)
“Booberrs” – blueberries
“Ouzo” – Our cat’s name. Also used for every other cat.

The next day all three of us went out for an even longer ride, going past Limehouse onto the Thames Path as far as we could go. There is definitely a futher route there that would take us in Canary Wharf and beyond — perhaps next weekend. The canal path was a lot busier on the nicest afternoon London has seen for a bit, quite slow going in some places.

Anyhow, a photo from the first trip. Note the extra yellow passenger.

What I would like to know is how Ella, while asleep, can tell the difference between stopping for a long light (where she doesn’t rouse) to pausing for to think about fulfilling some need of mine (food, coffee, not walking). The latter has her squirming and making pre-wail noises, forcing me to abandon the idea of meeting said need and trudging onwards.

So on this walk, she feel asleep almost immediately, and woke up again in Leicester Square. In Russell Square, I tried to pause and address need #3 mentioned above, but that pause did not last long. She woke up around Leicester Square and wanted to be out of the stroller, so our speed dropped a lot at that point. We grabbed a bus at the Royal Courts and were home in time for dinner. Hers, not mine.

Needless to say, we didn’t make her eat the pancakes.
