Summary
Not a huge change between this month and the last month.
Learning/Development
Often when there is a lot of something, he says there is "sata" (100). Also sometimes miljoonaa.
3.4 said that the biggest number is miljoonaa.
His teacher says he is quite quick at math exercises (and that he knows it).
He is great at helping, most of the time. He loves to be tasked with something, especially it if feels like an exciting new thing. 7.4 he helped make rice pudding, and did most of the work (under supervision of course). 14.4 he helped make waffles.
Language
Not much new here; Finnish still much stronger than English.
Toys/Games/Other
He seems to be leaning toward superheroes lately (batman, thor, spiderman, etc) and a bit less toward Lightning McQueen and Paw Patrol.
1.4 he was at first overwhelmed and scared to even come out of the locker room at the Flamingo spa (an indoor water park). eventually he got comfortable enough to splash around in the baby pool. then he moved up to the baby water slides, and eventually playing in the big pool and the giant jacuzzi. he loved when the bubbles came.
Social
He is friendly with a lot of the kids his age at päiväkoti.
His teachers say he is mostly fun to have around, but he can be very stubborn and very opposed to new things.
Health (eating, sleeping, etc)
He is having a terrible time going to bed. He often stays up quite late begging for us to stay with him.

Random
24.3 he laughed very hard, the hardest I have seen yet, when I informed him that some people call testicles "nuts". And he pointed out that they look like macadamia nuts.
Sometimes when Kimmo hugs or kisses him, he claims that it is something that girls do.
27.3 he was showing off his belly when he got undressed and i said "you have a lovely belly" and he replied very sincerely "äiti, you have a lovely belly too."
He told me wants a skateboard with fire and water on it. Fire on top and the sides, and water on the bottom. (?)
14.4 he and Lumi rode their bikes around the neighborhood without direct supervision.
So interesting....he is really maturing a lot, and is a cautious guy. That will come in handy in some situations!
