"Bear!"

This is the new word little Wolfie learned yesterday. We are not sure if he associates it with the animal, but he did point out to one bear in one of his books, imitating his mum, and shouted "Bear!" Then he kept on shouting it. Even settling down to sleep last night, he said it over and over again, with a cheeky grin (Wolfie says and does a lot of things with a cheeky grin). I wonder if he dreamed about bears in the night. He has seen bears, whether in plush toy, hard toys, form or on the television or in books, so it is quite likely that he identifies the sound and the animal.
