today you are two and a half

to my boo boo bear, today you are two and a half

_ you are talking more and more and we can now have proper conversations. some of your pronunciations are still not very clear (to outsiders) but daddy and mummy can understand you just fine. 

_ you love playing with cars and your favourite at the moment is Lightning McQueen. you watch bits and pieces of the movie pretty much every day. you are so familiar with the movie that you can remember some of the lines. we probably let you watch too much tv. 

_ we've just been away in Malaysia for two weeks and you make me so proud on our eight hour flight on the plane. while you didn't napped as long as we have hoped for, you were a dream to travel with. you were not bothered by being confined to your seats, you did not cry or whinge one bit throughout the entire flight there and back. daddy was quite exhausted keeping you entertained though. 

_ you are slowly getting better at managing your anger at daycare. after a few biting incidents, i've had to remind you every morning that you cannot bite other kids. bribing you with the iPad seems to work. it's funny when the first thing you say to me when you see me in the afternoon is "mummy i no biting, i good boy, i play iPad"? 

_ you moved to your big boy room last month and so far you've been quite good. i was worried we might have to train you to sleep by yourself again when we come back from our holiday but you're fine. it's like you can differentiate when we are holiday and when we are home. 

_ nowadays, you like to do some of the things going up the stairs, getting in and out of the car seat and taking your clothes off for bath time. you would say to me "mummy you no touch me, i help myself". i'm not looking forward to the day when you don't need me anymore._ mummy is going to miss the one on one time we have left before your little brother/sister arrives.
