Otso : 3 years, 1 month

Summary
He is alternately charming and moody. 

Learning/Development

No news here : he counts and knows a few  letters and so on. 

Language

When asking a question, he doesn't seem to have a handle on the word "do". For example, when playing Go Fish, he asks "Are you have any of this card?"

He has developed a funny way of adding an extra syllable to his English vowels, like "peas" becomes "pe-es". it seems to occur most often with a long E sound.

Toys/Games/Other

Favorite toys: legos, marble run, perler

Otso got a bunch of toys for his birthday and he is enjoying most of them. He is enjoying the marble run a lot.

He likes the Paw Patrol versions of Go Fish and Old Maid ("Go Pup" and "Old Bone").

He seems to have developed an attachment to the little stuffed animal wolf from the Tromso souvenir shop. He sleeps with it most nights.

He refused to participate in pottery painting.

Social

He is doing fine and is friendly with most kids at barnehage. 

Eating

27.10 we roasted beets in the oven, and he enjoyed the yellow and white beets. but then after dinner he claimed that he doesn't like beets, and we aren't sure that he understood what he ate.

He still compares delicious things to "ice cream and watermelon " 

Ritz crackers are a good fallback when he is sick. 

Sleeping

The weekend of 22-23 October he actually got naps, and he was a much happier person (despite claiming often that he is "not tired"). So now our challenge is to get over his mental resistance to naps.

Health

Like Lumi, he prefers that Isä wipe his bottom after a poo. He does a bridge so we can wipe. 

First week of November he wet his pants every day at Barnehage . Everyone is stumped as to the reason . 

10.11 Feverish and coughing - stayed home for 2 days

14.11 home again

He still really hates medicine and has to be force fed.

  1. Yep, pretty much spot on! He saw Grandma in there somewhere, and is really doing those things.
