29 Month Review

Yes, mummy’s not very up-to-date with posting – she still hasn’t finished telling you about our trip to Melbourne, she hasn’t done Lottie’s birthday post – but VCSWEB.net (hiya Gaelyne!) has been very busy cleaning up the monster nastiness hackers had left embedded in Snuva’s Haunt.

And now back to me.  It has been a HUGE month for me:

• I’m now a boy who travels in airplanes and on trams.  It was very exciting, and I still talk about the airplane and Eskil flying in the sky. Big high!
  Rating: Great progress; let’s explore more.
• Monkey George is my bestest friend. But I also have close friends at day care.  I especially like Archie (and Oscar and Rhys) from day care.  When we were adventuring in Melbourne and over the Christmas/New Year break, I didn’t go to day care.  However I was certain I saw Archie several times and screamed his name.  I was very excited when I went into my day care room after the break as I wanted to see him.  At first I didn’t think he was there and was disappointed, but then Leah showed me where he was and I was so excited I ran around and around a table!
  Rating: Top marks for great friends.
• Lottie and I play more together now, especially if we go to the oval or the beach where we can run and play and there’s lots of space.  And I get very possessive of other dogs playing with MY Lottie.  And I’m good at telling her what to do – NO Lottie.
  Rating: My Eskil’s doggie Lottie.
• I talk a lot.  All day, every day, and even when I go to bed at night.  I make my own sentences, and if I don’t know a word I make it up – and expect mummy and daddy to understand.  I also sing and dance.
  Rating: Lots of talking points.
• I use my imagination.  My toys have adventures, and I like to tell short simple stories.  I try to pretend that things I have to hand are things that I want that I don’t have.  Most things I pretend are HAMMARS!!
  Rating: HAMMAR!!!!!
• I don’t really understand Christmas yet, but it was talked about a lot – espcially on one or two days about a fortnight ago.  When I woke up, we went into the Kriki Tree Room, and I had new wooden trains and a hut!  Then we went to Hannah’s house early; I got more presents!  When we got home, mummy cooked a lot of food.  In the afternoon, Jules came over, and we ate food outside in the courtyard.  Then Julian and I played kick ball and then drew with chalk.  It was a good day.  The next day Auntie Donna came for dinner and gave me a truck with a shovel, and then the next day Gnomi and Swan came and gave me cookie cutters!  Ever since then, I request to be allowed to go into the Kriki Tree Room to see the tree and have the lights turned on.  And I like to hold my shovel.
  Rating: Kriki Tree has lights – lots of stars.
• One day last week after we dropped daddy off at his office, mummy and I went to the aquatic centre.  I loved it.  We played in the water, and I stood on mummy, and mummy and I went down the Big Waterslide, and we went under the waterfalls!  I was having so much fun that we were there for FOUR hours.  Mummy thought she’d tire me out, and I almost fell asleep on the way home even though it is such a short drive.  But I showed mummy how well I can stay up, and it took her hours to get me down for my nap.
  Rating: Waterslides get +5 for being great. I’d like to move to the aquatic centre.

And now some photos of me:
