• You really happy, runs all over the place, says lots of words mum, dad, water, aunty, bicky, dis, waz that, book.
• Points when you want something says, 'dis, dis'
• When we ask you to get a book you go to your shelf, pick one then come back and back into our lap for us to read to you.
• You sleep with your snuggly (boxers), 12 hours a night and your dummy
• Love the toys from the toy library - skittle, musical instruments, rocking car.
• Eats well, you know what lollies are, dam it.
• Started daycare absolutely loved it, everyone thought you had been before, slept well, played and didn't even notice we were gone.Your carer at First Steps is Kylee and she is lovely.  You go to her no hassles.
• You do the eyebrows if someone does them to you, you also flick your head right back and it looks like its going to fall off.
• You have 8 teeth and the back 4 are starting to come through.you haven't really teethed though, only noticed they were there when you opened your mouth.
• You were a bit funny when you were dropped off at daycare the 2nd day.  No smiles, when Kylee put arms out to pick you up you backed away.  You know whats going to happen now and are a bit apprehensive.
• I have been into Awatapu a few days with you, you were fine you just played with your toys, played peek a boo with the kids.  They loved you but you only handle 2 periods before your dad has to come and pick you up.
• Sopi looked after you for a morning and you were really good, ate and slept well.
• You cry now everytime I leave the house, you want to come as you love going in the car.
• Stayed at your dad's mum, cried when we left, didn't go down until 11.15pm, woke at 2.15am and wanted to play.  You came home exhausted and slept for hours.
