"I can't see Daddy anywhere" said Josiah this morning as we are heading out to church.
Wow, his first proper sentence.
Instead of answering him, I looked at him wondering how I once was in awe when he said his first word. Nowadays, his vocabulary is growing and his quirky remarks really makes my day.
I know one day, I will look back on this and moan about how he cannot stop talking but for now - I want to savour this warm fuzzy feeling I get whenever I hear him talk.
His other achievements include:
- Able to sing Twinkle, twinkle, ABC song, Incy Wincy Spider, Little Einstein song
- Able to count from 1 to 12
- Able to identify most colours
- Able to identify most alphabets
- Able to read a few words like dog, cat, duck, frog, horse, pig, chicken, Josiah, Mommy, Daddy, Thomas, Percy, star, car, Harold, James.
- Able to do some simple puzzles
- Able to paint and draw and colour quite well
Ahhh....but of course, I must also remember the things he is still struggling with, which includes:
- Not able to walk down steps on his own, he can walk up with help
- Not able to jump or climb too well
- Not able to feed himself with a spoon properly
- Not able to remove his socks or shoes on his own
- Not able to eat pasta, pizza, most veggies and fruits
- Not potty trained
I am looking forward to his independence which I think will improve when he starts nursery in September. He will be going for 3 mornings and although it will be a welcome break for me, I am honestly dreading that day. I want my freedom yet don't want to be away from him. Get it? Nope....well, I don't get it too. Such a strange mix of feelings which I believe only another full time SAHM will understand.
Does he miss his baby stuff too?
