Nanna's off in Australia for a few weeks so Granny came to cover for her. Nathan seemed a little off-form today, perhaps just a bit tired?

We're working on the potty training. Since last Friday the lad's been spending ten to fifteen minutes a day sitting on his potty fully clothed and listening to stories. We'll take it from there.

We went into Woodley town centre for a spot of shopping. Nathan ate sultanas for the first time.

Nathan's taken to telling us he loves us. It's lovely. In the middle of a conversation he'll just say "I love you Mummy/Daddy" and give a big hug.

Granny came to visit today and Nathan had a whale of a time.

The lad's really getting into his stride asking why. The nice thing is that they're all thoughtful sensible why's.

Nathan's got a bit of a cold today, but it hasn't affected him too much.

We returned to Hickory Dickory Dock after the holidays. The lad was singing all the songs in the bath tonight.

We're still enjoying those new toys. The new favourites are starting to emerge. In the lead are the additions to Nathan's Brio set and a play city.

We went to Maiden Erlegh hoping to get Nathan into playgroup, but knowing that they require their children to be toilet trained. It was no surprise therefore, to be told to come back when the lad's on his way there. Still, outside the classroom the lad picked up the badge with his name on it, and he spotted another one with mummy's name on (Laura).

We opened the last two birthday presents. Nathan got really excited, saying "Wow, this is brilliant".
