The Handybaby
A few days ago Thaïs caught me with a screwdriver in my hand trying to fix a loose door knob.
“Mummy, doing?” she asked.
“I’m fixing it,” I told her.
“Fikkit, fikkit”, she said and tried and tried to get her hands on the screwdriver, but didn’t succeed. Today I saw her trying to pull out the wheels of one of her cars. So I asked her what she was doing.
“Baby fikkit!” she replied happily.
Now she tries to ‘fikkit’ everything. She has ‘fikkit’ed a pair of sunglasses, CDs, CD cases, some of her pull-along toys, one of her toy cell phones — (she tried to ‘fikkit’ my cell phone too, but got a good yell for that), and the list goes on….
