He is now 27 months!

Wow doesn't that seem like a huge milestone! In a short 9 months, he will be three ;) and joining the little one , would be a tiny new baby in the house!
Many have asked if I wanted a girl.. Truefully, I wouldn't know wHat to do with a girl having spent so much time with my very rowdy boy! I don't know what games to play, what's the latest in baby girl fashion or even name the disney princess.. Not that I am less girly, just that I seem to have lost touch. Plus my world for the past two years have been filled with trucks, trains and Lego and more cars than I would have ever imagined! This is scary tots!
So I am embracing my future as a mummy to two rowdy boys ;) as much as they kick up mayham in my life, they bring with them a rowdiness that I never knew.. ;)

What he is up to at 2 years and 2.5 months

The Little One is growing up really fast. There are moments when i ask where has my baby gone to? He is so big now and yet still the same little chubby boy.

School:
He is well adjusted in school already. At the parents teachers conference in May, the teachers told us that he mixes well with the friends in school, can eat by himself (and always finishes the food), can wash his hands on his own (but doesn't know how to dry them) and likes the art and craft work. They gave us a CD of the Little One's pictures in school and it was really lovely! :) Watching it was quite emotional for me, cos my little baby has all grown up. He can even put on his own pants and his shoes.. seems so much for a 2 year old.

Language:
He still babbles on and on but i can have simple conversations with him now:

Little One: Mummy.. wet wet (pointing to his t-shirt)
Mummy: Is your t-shirt wet?
Little One: Yes..yes
Mummy: Do you want to take of your t-shirt?
Little One: Yes
Mummy: Can i take off your pants?
Little One: Nooooo.. no.

We read a few stories each night, depending on how tired he is or how cranky i think he is. He has his favourites: Stone Soup, Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. For these books, he can finish the words at the end of the sentences and generally follows the story very well. Daddy also got him some posters from Popular that we pasted up on his wall and he loves going through them with Daddy, like pointing out the animals or his ABCs and numbers. Its a routine we go through each evening.

Boys being Boys
Yes, the Little One has always been very much a boys boy right from an early age. He still loves his cars, his trains and balls and plays with them with what i think is like destructive forces! He loves wrestling with his daddy and play acting to be a lion. and he growls! loudly!

He is very fond of the yellow tabby cat that we have our void deck and everyday on the way to school, he calls out for "yellow" and looks for the cat. There has been moments when aunty sari says he shares food with yellow :) okie, maybe its food that he doesn't really like. We are happy that he is fond of animals and has a geniune affection for them.

Overall, he is a happy joyful boy who is sometimes a handful and an armful! But like we always say to ourselves.. boys are boys!
