FDC

Hey Mr Greggie.
You're such a big boy now - sleeping in the big bed for both day and night sleeps now. Last week you helped me pack up the cot. When we changed the sheets you chose the Tazzie doona cover and lay down on your pillow all excited!
We also put some posters up in your room - nothing less than v8 supercars!! You were so excited that after we put them up you went and told dad and showed him 6 times in 15 mins!!! Also anytime someone new came to the house you told them car! and pointed to your room and took them in to show them..... it was quite funny! You also now have a picture of an plane and the sesame street characters too - you can (sorta) say cookie (as in cookie monster).

You've also started family day care (FDC). It's really lucky that your career picks you up and drops you back off afterwards too! You attend on Thursdays. The first day you came home and walked in the front door I mentioned to you that Mitchell was on the loungeroom floor and you ran in and gave him huge cuddle. You both smiled and giggled at each other and started a real conversation as if to say "how was your day?" & "what were you up to?".

You now sit at the dining table for meals (not in the high chair very much) on a small booster. You think you are just sooooo cool, just one of us now :o).

Big boy in the BIG BED

Heya Mr Greggie,
Its been a fun week or so. There is a lot happening at the moment.
You've started saying a lot more words and identifying sooooooo many pictures. Yesterday you came out with crocodile (or close too!), and bird and heaps of others. We went outside and you were able to find the trees and birds and planes. You were even brave enough to touch a tree!! Very hesitant, You also touched a few other trees and plants, all with different leaves and textures, it was great to watch your reaction.
The big news is that...... you slept in the BIG bed last night. Yesterday you helped me set up the safety rail, make the bed, put all the toys & your pillow there ready for a sleep. At bedtime last night, Daddy and I both came in and climbed on the bed with you and we all read a story before dad said night and turned off the light. You and I lay down and you cuddled me and teddy and bunny. After a couple of minutes, I left you laying down under the blanket. I kissed you goodnight and told you how proud I am of you.
I came back to check you about 15 mins later and you were sound asleep!! You did stir through the night but managed to put yourself back to sleep! Well done. This morning I was up with Mitchell and you woke up and I had left your door and loungeroom door unlatched and you came out and joined us all by yourself! It was lovely to see you walk through the door when you were ready! *hugs*
Anyhow, I should go & organise your brekky, Mitchell and the things for the day.
Luv ya my BIG BOY (all growing up waaaaaaay too quickly!)
