Twenty months


We've been having trouble finding sleepsuits for Marisca: not many places seem to do them for age 18 months plus.  So here she is in her new pyjamas (18 - 23 months).  There is plenty of room to grow into these!

After all the fun and excitement of Christmas it's hard to look back and work out what's new this month.  It's all a bit of a blur... there's been lots of building on the things mentioned last month - Risky can now climb up and down the stairs by herself, and sometimes does so if she particularly wants to be elsewhere (usually into the kitchen as she wants a snack).  She can also count from one to ten and recognise all the numbers.  We're not getting two words together yet, unless you count adding 'yes' to add emphasis, such as 'Milk.  Yes.' or 'Biscuit. Yes' Which translates as 'I want milk/a biscuit.  Give it to me NOW'.  But there are lots more words there now, and she often tell us what she wants.

One word we need to work on is 'share'.  Risky has started to use this when playing with other children, however what she means by it is 'give that to me, I want it, take the other child away, I do not want to play with them'.  We'll have to work on it's true meaning I think!
