Say what?

I 'discovered' some time ago that unborn babies (I can't spell feet uses) respond to the sounds and voices they hear through mom's swelling tummy. Some people swear (though not within earshot of the kid) that speaking to your unborn child has soothing / bonding / developmental / gender-changing effects. I don't know much about that - but I do know that Joshua can hear us - and that he has some definite views about life. If he likes something he tends to rub the the walls of his cocoon; if he doesn't like it - he tries to punch right through!

I discovered this while listening to Jack Johnson. I said 'I like Jack Johnson' - Tracey said 'I think Joshua is purring!' I paused the DVD and the History Channel voice over mentioned David Koresh. Joshua punched. Tracey said 'Put Jack on,' Joshua purred again. So I conducted a little test: Thabo - kick. Nelson - purr. Lucifer, Adolf, load shedding. Kick, kick, kick. Mother Teresa, Mark Shuttleworth and daddy. Puurrr. Mad Bob. Kick. Kick. Kick. From the mouths of unborn babes!
