Tonight is my first night in my 'big boy' bed. I like my bed because it means I can get up whenever I want.

boxing day

On boxing day we went to Nanny and Grandads (blue car) we had more presents, we had an amazing train set all set up on a big table I love it. Then Uncle Gary and Sarah came and we played with Anais and Lily, Uncle Gary and Uncle Anthony. I was very sleepy still from xmas day so went to sleep most of the afternoon.

CHRISTMAS 2012

I woke up first on Christmas morning at 7:45 which was quite late, Mummy was very excited and woke up Riley. When I went into the front room there were lots of presents for us. mine were all wrapped in red and on top the most exciting thing 'A NANA' a banana from santa.
I had to eat my banana before I opened my presents, once I started opening presents I was very excited and ripped the paper of and throwing the present behind me to open the next. 'MORE...MORE...MORE...MORE'.
I had toy story figures, a garage with cars, henry hoover, train set, books and a (toy) doggie.

After all the presents were opened we played with our toys and waited for nanny, grandad and uncles lee, jason and auntie lucy and ross to come out. when the got here they gave us some more presents. then we all sat down for a nice christmas dinner. I made sure everyone wore their hats from the crackers- if anyone took it off I pointed and said 'hat gone'.

After we were all full from christmas dinner we all all sat down, played with toys and watched some tv. I was very tired because I didnt have a nap all day so we went in the bath and then it was bed time....what a fantastic day :0)

polar express and christmas eve

On 23rd December Mummy and Daddy took me and Riley on a drive to the train station- where we went on a brilliant train ride to the NORTH POLE on the polar express, we met santa and some elves. Santa asked me what I wanted for christmas and I told him a banana (the same as i told the santa at the xmas fayre at nursery).

on the polar express

Santa gave us the 1st gift of christmas a special polar express bell from his sleigh.

On Christmas eve we were all very excited cos we ate out last chocolate from our advent calendars so we knew santa was coming that night. (I call santa or anything christms related...HO HO HO). We all helped to get the vegetables ready for christmas day and then we watched some christmas movies. I laughed at home alone 2.

We went to bed quite early that night and went straight to sleep.

sticker time!

I have lots of fun in gymnastics and have learnt lots of new things.
I can shuffle along the high beam and I can swing my legs on the bar, my favourite bit is BOUNCING on the trampoline.

My talking is getting a lot better and clearer, although I would still rather use sign or sound effects than the actual word.

update

I have been trying really hard to say new words since Riley has started school, I say 'dada ark' for daddy shark. I say 'who dar' for whos there on the phone.
I have been gymnastics and singing with sophie the last few weeks and i have been joining in with the dancing and actions at singing.

My 2nd birthday

I woke up shouting 'mama, dada'. Mummy came in and took me to her bed while we waited for Riley to wake up. once every1 was ready we went down stairs and there were some presents for me. I enjoyed opening them with Rileys help.
.

 After opening my presents I played with me new toys, my peppa pig vehicles, peppa pig tea set and my new scooter.

Then we had breakfast and plyed some more...then I went for a long nap ready for my party.
When Daddy woke me up he drove me to the party and I was the last one to get there because of my long nap. all my friends were there, Darcey, Sophie, and Oscar. and their big brothers and sisters were ther too as they are Rileys friends ...Eden and mckenzie, Billie, Samuel. Also all of my family were there too...nannies and grandads and uncles. (Auntie lucy was working).

everyone on the bouncy castle

There was a bouncy castle, ride on cars and lots of yummy party food that mummy made.
Everyone sang happy birthday and brought me a present...I opened 1 of the presents as soon as possible from Eden it was a cuddley dog and I carried it around for the rest of the party.
The party was fun (although there were a few accidents and nose bleeds from children jumping into each other).
 Thankyou to everyone who came to my party.
After the party Nanny and Grandad and Uncle Lee and Uncle Jason came back to our house for tea, they gave me some presents too, a barking, jumping puppy, a doll, a pram (that i push my doggies around in) and some happyland things.

I was very tired that night and went straight to sleep at bed time.

 

 

 

update from summer 2012

just me

Im almost 2 years old already.

I still dont like to say much although Im loud when I want to be.

We have had a busy few

weeks, in the summer holidays we went to lots of nice places, woodlands, the aquarium and pennywell farm.

bowling sept 2012

me and ru ru at the park after picking ru ru up from school

On the 7th september Mummy and Daddy got married...although I had a nice day with all my family playing and running in the massive hotel garden, I wasnt sure what to think about it all...why was everyone wearing smart clothes? and why was mummy wearing that dress?. it was all a bit much for me!

Now Ru-ru has started school, I spend lots of time with Mummy. We still go to 'singing with steve' but we also got to gymnastics toddler group. 
On Monday mornings I go to little nursery, I usually cry when I first go in but once I see Jess (my key worker) she cuddles me and once Mummy has left I play with the toys and read books.

ready for nursery and riley ready for school

gymnastics

The last few weeks I have learnt to say 're' for red. I can ask 'where ru-ru ( riley)' and 'what dat'. Im trying really hard with my talking.

I love to watch peppa pig ALL THE TIME, if im not watching it on television I get Daddies Ipad and turn it on and find my peppa pig games, and if not I use mummy or daddys phones to play games. I can work it all on my own.

update 21 months

Its been a while since the last post.
I only say a few words but im very clever at getting people to understand me and do what I want them to do.
I can say 'mama, dada, nana, car, ball, blue, peppa, ba(for bath), more and steve (singing teacher)' and Riley has taught me a word that makes him laugh histerically so it must be a good word to say 'poo poo'.

I started 'little nursery' this week where mummy left me and I stayed and played with the other children. I settled in well and only asked for mama a few times.


me and riley at the park

On wednesdays Mummy and Me go to 'singing with steve' I love singing all the songs and listen carefully so I can tell mummy to sing later at home. my favourite song is 'the hedgehog song' i know all the signs and actions to all the songs.

at singing group

In May just after Rileys birthday we went to butlins for a week...it was great fun. we slept there and each day we did something different. we went swimming most days and I loved that too (except the waves). while we were there we visited an animal park where we could hold the animals I was a bit small but Riley held a snake. We visited another park on the way home called a dinosaur park...that was really fun but I was unsure of the dinosaurs and hid behind mummy.

 I loved the food at butlins...especially the custard and pudding! 'MORE, MORE'.

just before my 1st hair cut

We have also visited woodlands, river dart and the aquarium.


scoffing ice cream on the hoe

I had my 1st hair cut a few weeks ago...I was very brave (more scared really) but i sat still and the nice lady cut all my curls off.
I love to watch peppa pig on the television and before I could say 'peppa' If I wanted to watch it I would just point to the tv and snort like a pig. :-)

I love to wrestle with Riley and Daddy.
