we've got a parrot

Yes, we've got a parrot. Ben is now talking all the time and copying everything people say, especially what his brother Simon says. He saw his little cousin Annabel this afternoon and she taught him the name of the Scobie's dog - Mintie. He still misses a lot of ending syllables but he's getting there. Although we're excited to hear him talk we're not looking forward to two little annoying voices after a long hard day.
