This month, he will be turning 17 months old! Was remembering how i had plans to stay at home till he was 18 months old, putting the corporate job on hiatus. Guess things have changed quite a bit! We are blessed to have aunty sari who cares for him full time while we are both at work.. Original plan was to start having him attend childcare when he turns 18 months but that too, has been put on the backburner. After much thought, we decided that we will only start him in school next year.. anyways, the nov and dec months are like school holidays for the kids, so no point starting him then.
Someone was reminding me today that its only like another 1/2 more year, before the Little One turns 2.. wow.. just not long ago, we were celebrating his 1st birthday. For the 2nd one, definately no big parties. The Big One and I were deciding if we should bring the kid on holiday, and celebrate his birthday overseas. Anyway, we need to move fast cos after they turn 2, they become full paying passengers for airfare. Hmm.. with all the Natas holiday deals, a overseas holiday does seem like the logical choice.
Anyways, that's just the thoughts.. today, the Little One surprised me by flipping to a page on his book that showed a birthday celebration.. and he was clapping his hands! Guess he does recognize what is going on in the picture :) How cute! Noticed also that he is starting to get better during self feeding and loves feeding himself bite sized portions. Last Sunday in fact, we decided to try out if he could sit through a meal, with us feeding him part of his dinner and the rest for him to self feed. And he did very well! Fed himself tofu and pieces of salmon fish and even had watermelon :) compared to just a few months ago, when the Big One and I have to take turns to eat dinner, this was a clear change! Now we just have to give him enough variety of food and he would be happily sitting next to us eating. :)grins
