My first spoken word was “buttons”.
Well, I gather it was more like “buppons”, but perfectly comprehensible as a demand.
Back in those days, infants were allowed to play with their mother’s button collection once they could sit up and hold them – probably very good practice for manipulating small objects, when you think about it, which health visitors are very keen on babies being able to do. These days no doubt they would be expected to choke on them and it would be Bad Parenting, but back then the feeling was that if they ate one, no harm would be done and they would probably be disappointed enough not to bother to do it again.

My mother used to keep her buttons in a jar rather than a tin , so it was like a simple kaleidoscope- shaken to see which colours came into view

I remember making patterns from beads, on the dark brown lino at the edge of the sitting-room. I had to sort them into colours again to put them away in their tins.
