Teach children how to use cutlery
We’re pretty big on table manners here. Well, the OH is, and I’d like to think we’ve taught N well. Although he does have a tendency to wander off from the table after eating. Thankfully only at home. He’d not…
Milestones
Potty progress
There’s a distinct ‘toilet’ theme over my last few blog posts about N. We’ll go with it though. Previously N’s used the potties in the bathrooms to put his toys on or in. He’ll occasionally sit on one before having…
What happens at a 2 year health check
N’s 2 year check was an interesting experience. Not at all like I expected. We were sent a questionnaire to complete beforehand on development things he can or can’t yet do (wonder how many people lie or just don’t bother…
Changing rooms
Now N’s two, it’s time for him to move up a room at nursery from Ducklings to Ducks (love their terminology!). He’s been doing his settling in the last couple of days and it’s gone really well. I think he…
Birthday boy – 2 today
My little man is now 2. Just in the last couple of weeks he’s come on so much. He’s now 88cm tall, weighs 2 stone and has size 6 feet. In the last 2 weeks he’s been putting together words…
Birthday Preparations
It’s N’s birthday tomorrow, so the last couple of days I’ve been sorting bits out. With the snow, the plans to meet up with friends at soft play isn’t going to happen so we’ll be postponing that. He’ll also have…
2 Year Check Prep
It’s almost time for N’s 2 year check with the health visitor at the surgery. It does amaze me that they think it’s a normal environment to check a child’s development in, but I guess we’ll see how it goes…
The toddler, he says ‘no’
It seems N’s favourite word is still ‘no’. Wonder if he takes after me, as I do seem to have to warn him off things fairly frequently now he’s trying to turn on dangerous things, like the oven, or running…
Big kids soft play
Today we joined one of N’s friends at a soft play place in town for her 2nd birthday. N’s never really that fussed about soft play. He tends to head straight for the things he has at home or are…
Favourite children’s books
N obviously takes after me in his love of books (plus of course being a typical toddler who’s sucking up all the information in them!). We tend to have to read quite a few before bedtime, although sometimes he’s quite…
Chatty toddler
N’s never really been quiet ever since he’s started making noises. Thankfully we didn’t have much public shrieking, and in public he does tend to be a bit quieter, letting others do the talking. He’s picking up new words left,…
