I like the word toddler... I like the sound it makes... I like the image, seeing a little one, not yet proficient at walking... Last of all, I love that age of childhood. Such a joy 😄 Toddler's ok, but Tot is terrible, almost as bad as Hubby. I do not like that age of childhood either; I did not like it myself (it seemed a time of frustration, of not being able - physically - to do simple things that you want to do, like walk without falling over) and when I see kids that age now I feel bad for them. Of course, a few years later they can do anything, and never want to stop doing it, the lucky little bleeders. |

A word very little used these days. Used throughout the 18th and 19th century by authors.
Susurrantly
Means to whisper or in a quiet manner.
