Cadell

Lately Cadell has been challenging, but he has also been a joy. The last few weeks he has been sick on and off with last week being a very challenging time due to his sickness ( screaming for a while at a time and tantrums at the slightest thing, completely irrational behaviour) which has been hard, as I had thought maybe this is just a new phase he is going into. At daycare they said isn't one who has tantrums but could be learning as a lot of the others do, but I am so glad that it is almost 100% due to his illness lately ( ear infection causing him lots of pain and teething issues too). 

His true temperament is a very sweet one, he is a genuinely happy child and always has been. In saying that I am seeing now that he is also very stubborn and determined when he wants something. He is starting to have little tantrums, they last 20 seconds and are usually when he is tired and trying to do something such as stacking or lining up toys and it doesn't work the way he is wanting in his little head. 

He is still a bit dependant on me, which i am trying to work on, as he is always wanting me to pick him up/carry him and I will not be able to do that soon with a newborn. Last week was the first time I have had a bit of panic at the prospect of two under two as he was so demanding I thought i would go insane and I didn't know how i would do it with a newborn also. I was a bit relieved when we took him to the drs and realised that he definitely had a reason for his behaviour. 

I will be so happy when he starts talking properly, as that is a big frustration probably for both him and me. I know he gets more annoyed if he thinks i don't understand what he wants. 

He is a smart child, and loves doing all sorts of activities. Still loves his books, balls, and the vacuum cleaner. I would like to take him to a gym type class when he is 2, he is always on the go so I think he would benefit from it.

18 months old

Our little boy is a year and a half! Time is flying by at the moment. So far, he hasn't been saying too much, but I think he has been trying to say a few things such as 'truck' and babbling in his own lanaguage. He also says 'Yeah' when we ask him something and its something he wants! He is understanding so much now though. We can ask him questions and he definitely knows what we are saying and what he wants/doesn't want!! if we ask him 'where's your tummy/nose/mouth/etc' he will find them and point. He is running everywhere, loves kicking balls around the house + outside, although when he is outside he seems to prefer to explore, try and dig with a little shovel, and play in water! He is fascinated with spinning around at the moment, I think he likes the dizzy feeling he gets!

Lately

This little monkey was a bit proud of himself for getting up on his chair!  We spent a morning the other week in the garden with the dogs running round, Cadell loved that and was a little bit sad that he couldn't chase after the dogs! Won't be long before he is though... Its been a funny week as Matt has been off sick all week. I find it difficult to stick to my usual schedule when he's home, so I don't feel like everything has got done. But that is ok. Matt's birthday tomorrow, not sure what we are doing for it yet, maybe go out for a later lunch (after Cadell wakes up from his nap) and not too much else as he is still not 100%.  Only 1 more week (next week) of school, and then the following week I will work 1 day and the other 2 days Cadell will stay in Daycare and I have a long long list of Spring Cleaning/Decluttering to get done. I have started on it a tiny bit already as there is so much I want to get done. The week after that, I have the f...
