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!

Daycare

This week has been a funny week, I didn't go to work at all on Monday as Cadell was coughing so much he was vomiting and just generally not well so I didn't want to send him to daycare. On Tuesday he was still not well, so I took him to the Doctors early, and he gave us antibiotics for two inflamed ears. He said he was ok to send to daycare though, so I took him to daycare where there was a new person looking after him. I wasn't too happy about leaving him, he was upset and I didn't like to leave him with a new person when he was already unwell and upset. But I had to go to work. Wednesday I was feeling sick but I went to work, I phoned daycare at lunch and they said he was upset and not eating so I left work and went to take him home. So today I am full of cold, Cadell seems a little better but still not eating well so I am going to make him pancakes for morning tea when he wakes up to see if he will eat them. I think Cadell and I have been sick on and off for ne...
