Believe it or not, Dominik started to tell little verses at the age of not quite 20 months. I didn’t believe my ears a few days ago. Dominik was playing with the nurturer chair, I was packing of his clothes in the cupboard. After the first words of ”Hinta-palinta” (=swing-swang) the whole little song was intoned – 
correctly, from beginning to end.
correctly, from beginning to end. Hinta-palinta,
régi dunna kiskatona,
ugorj a Tiszába.
Zsupsz!
I wasn’t able to hide my immense joy. I can’t describe the feeling I felt the moment I first heard a song from my little son’s mouth. A song that I sang him over and over again without presuming to rehear (tho’ obviously this was the aim), a song that he learned from me. Then and there he immediately took away my breath giving evidence of his reflectiveness with another nursery rhyme. He’s thinking and drawing conclusions. Now, he starts to get out the things stored of the drawers of his brain. I told him the ”Cirmos cica haj,…” which is about cat and butter but it doesn’t say that the cat ate the butter, it’s just disappears. Dominik found out and said ”Megette!” (=ate it).
Cirmos cica haj,
hová lett a vaj?
Ott látom a bajuszodon,
most lesz neked jaj!

This week was passed in terms of revelation of our little son’s mind. Since the first song, he presents me with one new song but always strictly just on the following day. Lóga lába lóga,
nincsen semmi dolga,
mert ha dolga volna,
a lába nem lógna.

These are fabulous photographs and updates of the events of the month. Dominik is so precious, I absolutely love the first photo of him stepping into Krisz's shoe. I believe that was Gabor's first nurse rhyme as well, such a cute song. I haven't heard the third one you wrote, I need to come to Hungary and get more verses, books, stories, and just everything!
Please send our belated birthday wishes to Ancsa and your father, as well as to Krisz for his name day.
