My friends Jo and Andrew gave me this cool book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" which we read almost every day.
I'm not sure who likes it the most - Mum or me?

Anyway...
Mum and I entered the draw at our local Dymocks.
Then we hoped, we prayed and we kept our fingers crossed.
Then we WON! YAY YAY YAY!
We won a two meter long Hungry Caterpiller!

I've called him Pilla and sleep with every night :)

I am in the middle of a mental developement spurt. My words are starting to stream in threes and fours. I seem to be picking up new words in each conversation.

We've been practicing colours and counting this month.
Mum thought I could count to two (definitely) and three (sometimes). Often though I think the numbers go as - one, two, five! As in one bike, two bikes and more than two bikes is five bikes :)
Then the other night when we were out walking and looking at the stars and moon, I showed her that I could count to TEN. Just as Dora had taught me. Mum almost fell over in shock.

Much to mum's distress I dropped my midday snooze one day. She hopes that I don't do this again for a while...She quite enjoys the down time, because as you know the life of a toddler is go-go-go for every other part of the day!

I am further testing the boundaries. I now clearly know what they are but just like to check occasionally.

Food is food at the moment and nothing more. I'm not too fussed what I am eating. I'm not too excited by anything either. Some meals I want it. Others I'm not overly into it.

I understand the concept of time. When dad went away during the month, we noted his return day in my calendar and we marked off the days until he came home. I didn't get as upset as I usually would because I understood that he was coming back. I gave hime lots of cuddles when he came home.

I am enjoying both imaginary play and dependant play. Thus enabling me to make "real" friends that I look forward to seeing.

Lachie was a bit put out that his contribution wasn't mentioned in my birthday post.

So I'd like to thank him for doing this (see piccie below) while we made the cake on the morning of the party...

...and thank you for doing this (see piccies below) while the party was on, so that mum and dad could organise the party and so that I could get all of the attention :)

Thanks Lachie, you're a great little brother!

...particularly when you find cool hats...
