They all develop at their own speed and it can be quite an eye opener at the vast difference between two of the same age.

Noah is 21 months, and I child-mind a 20 month old boy as well. Where as Noey can differentiate colours, basic counting, vocab is excellent and stringing words together, draws etc, helps dress himself, cleans his own teeth & can use a knife & fork together, the other boy can only just say dada, and that is seldom, has no interest in drawing or holding a crayon, wont help dress, short tempered and is very very TV / ipad orientated (thanks to his folks). In many ways he is very much still a juvenile baby, especially with his speech.

I need to complete his 2yr Progress check later in the year and it's not looking too good for his basic abilities yet.

I thought you might like an amusing update on my beautiful toddler Michael, firstly eating his first Chinese takeaway last Sunday;



Then Wednesday it was hairdresser day at the nursery. Envelope at reception for you to write name on, drop money in and select which cut you'd like (full cut or just fringe). Except when James got there the envelopes were used up, so they found a blank one for him to write on. Instead of writing full cut, he created his own option as a joke, thinking the hairdresser would get his sense of humour (really?!!). May I present, "Shear him like a sheep;"



Goddam males...... Thankfully I have a sense of humour!

This is Noah just shy of his 2nd Birthday, doing the honours of Pageboy at his God Parents wedding and none too sure of a strange person sticking a camera in his face when he'd just woken up.

Good pictures. The sheep cut actually suits.

We have recently gone past two and a half. Getting the odd tantrum, but dealing with it calmly. My little mop top is becoming more of a little boy every day.

And still heavily into cars and planes.

2.1month and agree, everything is his, no clue on sharing and doesn't like "no."

Oh and yes, I fear we have a PH ingrained child. When asked what animal he wanted to see today (going to Longleat Safari Park), he responded with boat.

Cars are top, followed by planes. Then trains, motorbikes and boats oh and of course bikes (he rides in a bike trailer daily Mon-Fri.)

Ten years in, how are we all doing?

Has anyone been able to play Gran Turismo with their kids yet?

He does most of the weekly forza challenges for me.
He’s also much better at rocket league than I am.

Got bigger. Hair grew back. Mine didn’t.

Playing Rocket League with my 9year old and getting obliterated, and when I say obliterated, I'm saying 8-10 goals difference.

I made the mistake of scoring twice in quick succession and running my mouth.
I didn’t see the ball for the next 4 minutes.
