25 months

I am in the middle of a mental developement spurt. My words are starting to stream in threes and fours. I seem to be picking up new words in each conversation.

We’ve been practicing colours and counting this month.
Mum thought I could count to two (definitely) and three (sometimes). Often though I think the numbers go as – one, two, five! As in one bike, two bikes and more than two bikes is five bikes 🙂
Then the other night when we were out walking and looking at the stars and moon, I showed her that I could count to TEN. Just as Dora had taught me. Mum almost fell over in shock.

Much to mum’s distress I dropped my midday snooze one day. She hopes that I don’t do this again for a while…She quite enjoys the down time, because as you know the life of a toddler is go-go-go for every other part of the day!

I am further testing the boundaries. I now clearly know what they are but just like to check occasionally.

Food is food at the moment and nothing more. I’m not too fussed what I am eating. I’m not too excited by anything either. Some meals I want it. Others I’m not overly into it.

I understand the concept of time. When dad went away during the month, we noted his return day in my calendar and we marked off the days until he came home. I didn’t get as upset as I usually would because I understood that he was coming back. I gave hime lots of cuddles when he came home.

I am enjoying both imaginary play and dependant play. Thus enabling me to make “real” friends that I look forward to seeing.
