As your speech has developed you can now get your point across with ease and we have some really funny conversations with you. You love to boss us around:
"No Daddy", "Get up Mummy", "Get off Daddyia", "Stand up Mummy" when we're at the supermarket you say "Go home Mummy".
You've started calling us Daddyia and Mummyia, names you've made up and today you said "I love you Daddy", which made our hearts melt (I immediately got you to say "I love you Mummy and you also said "I love you cake" which ruined it a little!).
You are ADDICTED to Thomas the Tank Engine, today Daddy bought you your first Thomas DVD and you sat on my lap glued to the screen, demanding "More Thomas" whenever an episode ended. Nana and Grandad bought you a set of three T-shirts - Thomas, James and Percy - you ask to wear them everyday, we have to say they're in the wash just to get you to wear anything else.
You are getting a little less fussy about food. You are still a little terror, but I've had some success with different types of pasta and noodles with hidden vegetable sauces. I bought the Annabel Karmel Fussy Eaters' Recipe Book and there's some good recipes you've been happy to eat - homemade pot noodles, oat and raisin cookies, pancakes with berry compote, eggy bread. There was also a great tip about putting food in tiny pots, which believe it or not has worked really well!
You still sleep in your cot, you've not tried to climb out and there's plenty of room so we're happy to keep you there. You sleep in a 24-36 month gro-bag and we've just got you your first pillow, with a lovely yellow pillowcase which you absolutely love. This morning when you saw me strip the pillowcase and put it in the washing machine you burst into tears!
You love playing with the toys you got for your birthday - everything except your bike (you're still a little short to ride it, so haven't learnt how fun it could be yet). However you are into Play D'oh in a big way, as well as your menagerie of schleich animals, jigsaws, sticker books and toy cars.
You've got a massive wardrobe at the moment, both 18-24 and 2-3 years fit you. Favourite items (obviously the Thomas stuff), a blue & yellow polo shirt from Gap, dark blue jeans with a yellow belt I got from primark ages ago and they still fit, green and navy blue gap socks, red hooded gilet and a red fleecy top with black cars both from Sainsburys.
You can walk and run with ease and are just learning to jump down steps and skip whilst holding my hand. You love going on public transport, trains are your favourite, but you still say "yay" when I say we're going to get a bus.
Above all you are turning into such a beautiful, well mannered little boy. When prompted you say please and thanks you and "pardon Mummy".
