He's all about language right now. He repeats almost everything.
He also is still quite good with balls. He can throw accurately and hard. He can catch. He can kick.
He learned to jump with both feet.
He is repeating a lot and his acquisition is rapid.
27.8 he has said "äiti" a few times instead of "äini" but it's not consistent yet.
He now says "one, two" when we put on shoes or anything in pairs.
"pi-ki-ka " = paprika
"sap" = he wants to sit on your lap
8.9 he is making notable strides with Finnish. He says "yksi, kaksi, kolme" when counting with Kimmo before throwing/jumping/etc. He says "vettä", which is a big breakthrough (he has only said "vann" up until now, and it is a common topic).
10.9 he said "water" in english too!
He made a friend (Eino) with our Finnish group, and he asks for him by name and wants to throw a ball with him.
His teacher at barnehage said that all the kids know that he likes balls so they bring balls to him all the time.
Toys/Games
favorite toys: balls, balloons, stroller, Mickey mouse figurine, puzzles (he shouts "i did it!" almost every time he fits a piece in)
Favorite books : Pupu Tupuna Syntymäpäivä, anything by Sandra Boynton
He does not like finger painting.
He loves to have a barrette in his hair.
Eating
He does not like finger painting.
He loves to have a barrette in his hair.
favorite foods: ice cream , eggs, yogurt
nursing: done!
bedtime is 7:00, wake up at 6:00.
He is starting to understand the toddler clock : the sun means you can get up, etc.
We are trying a new system, where we do books and bedtime with Otso in the kids bedroom, and longer books with Lumi in the living room. This gives Otso a chance to fall asleep without the distraction and Lumi a chance to read longer books and stay up a tiny bit later than her little brother. So far it has meant fewer tears and a more pleasant evening for everyone.
30.8 Runny nose for a few days now, but nothing big.
12.9 eye looks puffy and runny
13.9 both eyes puffy
14.9 eyes a bit gross, but we're sending him to barnehage nonetheless.
17.9 got an email from the barnehage that someone has pinworm. crossing fingers we don't get it.
He tells us just after he does a kakka in his diaper. He also says "kakka" when he does a pee in the diaper. He will sit on the potty without a diaper, but usually not when he needs to pee. It seems like he fears actually putting something in there.
We bought a seat reducer for the toilet. He is excited about it, but terrified to actually sit on it.
It feels like he is too old for diapers and too immature for the potty.
He tends to absolutely drench the night diaper. This is a recurring problem.
5.9 sat on the potty and did a pee! He got a sticker for it.
Clothes: size 92 (2T) in most things. He is in a 23 shoe.
Weight: 13.1 kg at the airport on 26.7
Height: 85 cm on 11.9
What a beautiful child he is! and it looks like you have an athlete there -
ReplyDeleteGood idea with the bedtime - glad it is working!!! Love, a proud Grandma
