Long time no post

Static head

It's longer than I realised since i posted here.

Treestump is growing well and is bigger than many of the two year olds we know. He does both rhythm time classes and a toddle gym class where he out masses most of the kids who are older than him which can make it slightly difficult when he then doesn't act like they do.. the extra 6 months or so making a big difference in normal behaviour.

He is very activly trying to talk now, copying many, many words when they are used. Bubbles is still a favorite and one of his clearest words but he says many more including things like sheep and baa.. rar (dinosaur) is a big favorite. Book, sit (as in you sit here so I can sit on you) and so on. He also strings words together like row, row (row, row the boat), baa, baa (baa, baa black sheep) and he uses several signs like star, bottle etc along with trying to say the word.

The current favorite word this week is fish or rather pish.


I still like my sleepsacs to sleep in which my brother had decided he didn't like by now. i also like sitting in boxes !

I've very good at running, walking backwards, climbing and even balancing on one leg and I am trying hard to learn to jump. I like tramlines too.

I love my food, pretty much any food currently. I also like dinosaurs, cars, fish, books and things I can push like kids shopping trolleys. My current favorite books are Charlie Cooks favorite book, anything with animals or fish, anything with things to feel or music built in.

I have four molars and my top canines are just coming through.

Noodles first tooth fairy visit

Last night my big brother got his first toothfairy visit. He lost the tooth at school though mum thinks part of the root is still in there.

The word of the week is Bubbles

I like people blowing bubbles enough to try really hard to say bubble which I manage enough to make it different from other B words like bottle and ball.

I also like climbing on the table, mummy doens't seem to like me doing that though!

weekend in the park

I went out to the park Saturday afternoon with my big brother, mummy and daddy Jon.

Football was played.

Flowers were studied.I liked the trees and kept trying to look at the leaves which was quite hard on the big ones. Daddy lifted me up but we still couldn't reach them but mummy found me a smaller tree where I could touch the leaves.

I like hedges too. i like to run my hands across them even if they are holly or something spiky though I am a bit more careful then when I realise that.

Songs

I love songs. current favourites are

Row, row, row the boat which I like to do the actions to and sing Row, row whenI want you to sing it for me.

and The animals went in two by two which I sing the Hurrah bit.

strawberries and cuteness

We went strawberry (gooseberry and rhubarb) picking this Sunday which both boys enjoyed immensely. Treestump turned into some sort of character from a bad horror movie with red juice all round his face, down his chin and all over his white vest and shorts.. you know that nice neat way he has of eating? Well it goes out the window when presented with a field full of strawberries !He did however really like the sheep in the field nextdoor so much so he told Tom they were there saying sheep to him to get him to lift him up to see over the solid gate, I'd shown him earlier.He is very cute currently, when he wants something you offer him he goes "yes, yes" and does a little happy dance and when he is sleepy he comes and lies his head on my lap.

At rhythm time his class goes up to 3 so he is one of the younger ones as we move up from the baby class. This means some of the kids are talking quite well and the teacher went round singing twinkle, twinkle little star missing out the last word of each line and seeing if the child she was at could fill it in . He got "Up above the world so" and straight away up his hands up for "high", later at home he was doing all the actions for the song.

teeth for both boys

Treestump has definitely cut his fourth lower front tooth as well as several molars pushing through.

Plus big brother has his first wobbly tooth!!
