We have quite a range of ages and they each develop at their own rates... so what can your toddler do?

Grin Sophia Tis my birthday on Monday so I am off to London for the weekend. With the boyfriend - we worked things out and are giving it another go. He is lovely - very supportive and very proud of me getting my job, which I have never had before I still wish my family would be a little bit proud of me, but you can't have everything...But I may have done a naughty thing. With JFG. Blush so my love life is a little complicated right now...

PR I know a certain twunt who works for the OU - you can blame him if you want Grin

ValiumQueen · 28/02/2014 18:49

That made me Hmm Sophia, then SmileGrin

ValiumQueen · 28/02/2014 18:50

You shagged JFG???????

ValiumQueen · 28/02/2014 18:54

Or should I say Ducked? Grin

ValiumQueen · 28/02/2014 18:55

I also thought PP had bought R a dog.

ChasingDaisy · 28/02/2014 18:55

Not quite VQ. We 'sexted' Blush I am a terrible person.

ValiumQueen · 28/02/2014 18:56

PR what was your module in?

ChasingDaisy · 28/02/2014 18:56

I would not be at all surprised if O's next word is Duck...

ValiumQueen · 28/02/2014 18:57

You are not a terrible person Chasing. You are young, free and single. Not terrible at all (((hug)))

Lily311 · 28/02/2014 18:59

I keep telling her that vq but for some reason she doesn't believe me.

ValiumQueen · 28/02/2014 19:01

Believe Lily. And delete everything.

Lily311 · 28/02/2014 19:04

Yes chasing. Delete evidence before you are off your sex weekend ;).

ChasingDaisy · 28/02/2014 19:06

Shit. Yes. Delete, delete, delete.

I'm having fun and I'm happy Grin

Sophiathesnowfairy · 28/02/2014 19:16

Have a great time chasing you are not a bad person you are just living your life go for it.

PetiteRaleuse · 28/02/2014 19:19

vq social sciences. So perfect for the other three but shite for mfl. But I hoped they would accept it instead of easy peasy French modules but they won't. I'm going to try contacting them another way, someone especially from the mfl department and try sweet talking.

PetiteRaleuse · 28/02/2014 19:20

Definitely delete chasing and remember, no talking, no confessions...

Passmethecrisps · 28/02/2014 19:32

I have a good video about the dangers of sexting. It's for 12 year olds. Anyone over 18 I would say "tap away!"

Another first for P - she shat in the bath! Never happened before.

BigPigLittlePig · 28/02/2014 19:48

Chatty!

Kyz · 28/02/2014 19:57

Oooh a lovely shiny new Fred! I would go back over all the tail end of the last fred but this one is moving pretty quickly as it is so i'll just start here :) What a lovely fred it is too, i've sat and read it and have really enjoyed reading what everyones babies are getting up to, and the wide range of skills and words and things! It's amazing that they can be so different and all so brilliant :) Love it!

So, E... Born on 6/11

He has been able to stand on his own holding nothing since about 8/9 months but didn't start walking until 11 months and then has walked pretty much everywhere since he just turned 1. He can dance and bops around an awful lot. If he wants music on he turns the stereo on all the bloody time

He can say a fair few words, like mum, daddy, birdy, bath, cheese, purple, green, egg, cat, car, ball, dirty, baby, hiya, bye bye, up, bed etc He seems to know a new one every day and some of them are crystal clear whilst others are getting there. He does a brum noise for cars and can meow but that's about it for animal noises.

He can follow instructions like go and close the stairgate, go and knock on uncle zacs bedroom door, go and give that toy to the baby (my 10mo dsis), sit down, go and put your shoes in the kitchen, fetch a book/car/ball etc however is so very capable of ignoring bloody everything!

He also answers questions kind of, if i say do you want to go to bed, if he doesn't he shakes his head, if he does he goes up the stairs. If I say are you hungry he goes to the cupboard where his snacks are kept.

He can take the bottom half of his clothing off but gets stuck in his tops lol. He also pulls his trousers up or sleeves down when asked (usually)

He can do 5 block towers, can bring you either red, yellow, green or blue blocks (but gets bored after one or two colours), he does the shape sorter and if you say fetch me a circle he can, and square but they are the only two so far and as I say sometimes he just can't be bothered. He can do the stacking rings in order and likes to draw. He's not so good with stacking cups though, and tbh mostly likes to knock towers down. He can't do jigsaw puzzles but is showing signs of wanting to now and has a penguin bath toy that he manages to get the baby penguins into the middle of.

He can wave, clap and kiss and give cuddles when asked/in the right scenario albeit a bit late, think much BYE BYE EEEEE before he goes oh duh and waves lol! He is a champion thrower much to my distress! He knows the actions for pat-a-cake and tries a bit of singing but mostly just high pitched version of his usual sounds.

He knows my hair, ears, eyes, cheeks, mouth, teeth, nose and eyes. He knows his hair, nose, tummy, knees, teeth, feet and toes. He gets ears half the time, we started ears yesterday.

He can't feed himself, he's really very lazy in that department and you're lucky if he'll hold his own pizza/sandwhich/toast. I am trying to get him to though.

He can't bring himself to listen to the word no and goes out of his way to wind me up i'm sure of it!

He can't get through a day without some kind of accident and bump to the head.

Wow isles he's a prize prick alright!!

welcome back fiat!

Glad you worked stuff out chasing and yes, delete things!!

Lol pass e has shat in the bath more times than I have fingers. Lovely stuff. NOT!

Am very determined to lose 1.5lbs this week. I am that much off of a stone lost in total and i have said I will treat myself to a hair cut/colour when i've lost the stone. So obviously this week i stayed the same. Oooh I was so cross yesterday!!! I'll do it this week, i will. Or maybe i won't actually, because of pancake day coming up... I LOVE pancakes!

Kyz · 28/02/2014 19:59

Wow. I wrote alot. Sorry, I didn't mean to go on, today has been a difficult day though so I've enjoyed thinking of all the lovely things e does instead of all the times i've had to scoop him off the floor today and have listen to the constant whining Blush

Kyz · 28/02/2014 19:59

listened*

fiatpandababba · 28/02/2014 19:59

Hi everyone. Alexander had his mmr on tues. Tonight in the bath he developed a spot on his shoulder, one his tummy and one on his shoulder. Has anyone else experienced this? He's very well in him self and asleep in bed without any fuss.

BigPigLittlePig · 28/02/2014 20:01

Love this thread! Well done stunt, good idea.

F was born 24th Nov at 35 weeks.

She dances, all the time. Spends most of the day at nursery dancing to tunes only she can hear. She nods and shakes her head for yes and no in response to simple Qs. She lifts her feet one at a time when I take her tights off. She washes her own hair in the bath. When you don't watch her, she tries to gently stab peas with the fork (when you watch she just goes mental). She cuddles people she thinks are sad. She has just grown tall enough to reach the drawer containing dog treats, and gets them out and feeds them to the dog. Or the cat. This weeks tricks are walking backwards, and saying uh oh. She is fab.

fiatpandababba · 28/02/2014 20:01

Shoulder, tummy and back I mean sorry

Pikz · 28/02/2014 20:02

I may have had half a bottle of champers Grin just because

Therefore can't think of much coherent stuff!

Chasing you have done nothing wrong! Enjoy and just delete the messages!

I might sextext DP in his office Grin
