Singing repertoire
N’s broadening his singing repertoire. We now have 5 recognisable songs. It’s strange because one of his little friends who seems to hit all the usual milestones at the same time as him, sings Twinkle Twinkle and her speech is…
Thoughtful discussion
Car colour practise
As mentioned before, N’s not too hot at colours. I lie, he knows the names of the colours, and nods if I ask what colour they are. But he’s still obsessed with saying yellow to everything. Although now we have…
Toddlerisms 6: Grapes
N loves fruit. I imagine most children do (especially over veg, although he does love veg too), but I think N’s slightly obsessed with it. So much so that it’s always the fruit he tried to make a grab for…
Toddler friends
Being 2 seems to be the start of having friends. Before N’s been happy to tag around after his old cousins, and vaguely do activities at nursery alongside other children, but it’s great to see him really connecting with other…
Miserable kids
Miserable kids really aren’t what you want. Children, especially young ones, should be full of fun and laughter, excitement and interest. Thankfully N is a happy chappy and even though he occasionally has a bit of a wobble and cry…
Night night
As I’ve said before, N loves reading so of course before bed we have to choose a book (or 2) to read. Today we had Cock-a-Doodle Quack Quack which is a lovely book about a baby cockerel being born, but not…
The Best
Chuckle chuckle. Who’s the best in our household? According to the OH, it’s him. He keeps trying to indoctrinate N by telling him ‘Dad’s Best’ in the hope that N will repeat it back. Unfortunately it seems to be failing….
Rabbit Rabbit
N’s quite partial to rabbits. Not like that, before your mind starts whirring and wondering, given he’s only 2 years old! He has a Peter Rabbit soft toy which his Gran gave him as a present when he was born….
Dad confusion
There’s been serious ‘dad confusion’ going on this week with N. We’ve all gone through the bad cold & cough lurgy that seems to be going round. N suffered a temperature at the end of last week, but apart from…
Toddlerisms no.3: Chill
Another toddlerism, this time it’s ‘chill’. After meals N likes to chill with his dad. This usually involves clambering all over him while he’s trying to rest, sitting on his chest/head/arm, or simply cuddling up with his taggy blanket and…
Party trick – tongue twister
My son is strange. Or rather his tongue is strange. He has a party trick already, at the age of 2! He’s just started sticking his tongue out (not brilliant), but I’m intrigued. He can make it into a (rounded)…
