Yep, I'm now a full fledged mother to one two year. I guess I can officially say I now own a toddler. Not a baby or a ordinary child but a toddler. I hear it's also called 'that evil stage'. We've already witnessed the beginnings of some rather delightful tantrums which involve a screaming child lying on the floor until he gets bored and forgets what he was tantruming about. He has a attitude too which involves a major lack of impatience. It's not all been tantrums and attitude though, he's turned into a proper little boy who has been learning the ways of the world he's still not speaking but he knows how to communicate with me to let me know what he wants.At the same time as turning 2 he's dropped his night feeds, ever since a big life change several weeks back he's sleeping through the night. Which means I get a lovely 7pm to 8am out of him, sometimes even a 9/10am start!
We celebrated turning 2 by visiting a local farm to see some animals and see the lambs being born, Oli changed his mind about the lambs when he got there and saw the Chickens. They were much more interesting apparently then the cute baby lambs being born, so we spent a good hour pointing and following the chickens every move.
We've had so much fun over the last few weeks, totally making the most of our family time before we explore him going into nursery for the first time. I still cant believe the baby days are totally behind us, as I get his baby stuff down from the loft over the next few days I know there's going to be a tear or 2 shed.
