DD has developed a weird habit in the last week or so and I was hoping you could all pile in and tell me it's normal...?
I tend to keep up a (mainly one-sided) stream of chatter when I'm with her - started when she was tiny and now she's 2.3 - kind of a narration of what we're doing, where we're going etc. This includes me asking rhetorical questions - ie 'where did I put my keys?' 'how did you get covered in paint like that?' , 'who drank all that juice?' etc etc.
Only just recently she's started answering me by saying 'Daddy hid them' or 'Daddy did it'... when I know for a fact he's been nowhere near whatever it is he's getting the blame for!
Came to a head last week when we went swimming and I realised I'd mislaid my pound for the locker - 'oh' I said 'where's that coin gone?' she answered 'Daddy took it! Daddy took it!' really loudly - and then she said 'Daddy hit me, Daddy banged my head!' - she had actually banged her own head that morning when she'd run into the fridge door that before the recent growth spurt she'd just fitted under!
Turned around to see other mother regarding me with suspicious eyes... oh dear!
Not sure what poor old Daddy has done to be blamed for everything, but is this common? Does it last? How long before social services come and arrest Daddy??
