When you're not terribly old, even the littlest things can get you down.

Take, for example, the whole talking thing. You've got lots of words down! You do! But the whole concept of the letter D seems to largely elude you, and you can tell it's really bumming Dad out. So you're working on it.

Slowly.

But even worse is the walking. You're crawling like a pro, and taking steps with help, even pulling yourself up without help!

And yet.

And yet.

Not so much.

So it's best to practice this sort of thing when everybody's busy. Looking the other way.

No pressure.

Nooooooooo pressure.

Crowley tolerates the gnawing for a moment, in concession to Anthony's heroic efforts in making it all the way over - but only for a moment. Anthony's pleased enough to remain the centre of attention, though, that he doesn't protest being hoisted up into Crowley's lap once more.

"Now we've just gotta get him to say Daddy," 'Dora says, looking over at Anthony and snickering.

"Deeda?" chirps Anthony.

"Does it gotta be Daddy? 'Cause I'm sure we can come up with lots of other words for Bernard that are easier to say."
