An 18 month-old meets Penelope the Penguin

‘Hello! I’m Penelope the Penguin’
(Mum wriggling bright hand puppet)
“He-ow” (huge smile from ear to ear, shining eyes)
‘Hello, Mary*’
“He-ow”
‘Can I have a cuddle?’
(she comes forward and gives the Penguin a big hug)
‘Aaaaaaah!’
‘Can I have a kiss?’
(she rushes forward and bestows a bit smacker)
‘Aaaaaaah!’ ‘Thank you!’
(gabble, gabble)
“He-ow”
‘Hello!’
‘Can you say, “Thank you, Mamgu**”?’
(she wanders up the room towards the photo of her grandmother)
‘Is she up there?’
“Mam-ee”
‘Say, “Thank you”’
“Deyk-ew”
‘Mamgu’  ‘and Grandpa’
‘ba - ba’
‘and Mamgu’ “mam - mee”
‘Hello’ “Aw”
‘Hello’ “Al - aw”
‘Hello’  “Hel-ow”
‘Hello’ “Ay - ah”
(she suddenly notices label attached to the puppet still … serious investigation and
gabbling :)
“des -uh - bad -a -”

[based on a video clip received after sending the puppet in the post].

(IP: ‘hello’ and/or ‘goodbye')
