Well the inevitable is happening....within the last 2 weeks or so Jack (now 2 years and 4 months old) has progressed from being very babyish(-needing a dummy,asking me to do things eg open bottles,also making noises and pointing instead of talking) has suddenly gone without his dummy since monday (alot easier than i thought it would be-i was dreading weaning it off him but one night i just put him to bed without it and he hasnt had it since!) and is saying lots of words-even sentences(!!!!) and doing things for himself.....im quite relieved but when i see younger children i think 'awww why cant Jack go back to being like that,and needing me all the time) but i know i wouldnt really like it-VERY hard work.
Strange to see him now-like a different person altogether.
His fave thing in the world? SHREK
has been for about a year-although his not keen on the sequels.
Next step will be potty training-his already progressing that way-such as telling the neighbours his done a poo
Soon he wont need his buggy either (as a pram fan im not keen on this idea).
Im taking him to Kent to see all his relatives in November (most of whom have never met him)
his nan,great nan and great grandad saw him 16 months ago-when he couldnt talk,walk and was still on bottles etc.
Is going to be very strange for him and them.
Wish me luck with the 6 hour train journey....on my own with our luggage,pram and (i bet) a very tired,whiny Jack.........hmmm what possessed me to book those tickets???
I bet Neil and Romps can sympathise seeing as their daughter is exactly the same age
