Stepping Out

Charlotte and I went to see an Am-dram production of Stepping Out last night - it is one of our favourite films so we were both excited to see it. It lived up to our expectations with a great cast and some fabulous acting.
Charlotte had a chance to speak to Andy who used to lead the drama group she belonged to and to Jo Collett - who was in the cast. Great night out at the Little Theatre in Dunstable!

Monthly Update - Two Years Five Months

Marcus has had an explosion of language this month - and uses sentences up to seven or eight words long - for example he said  "Put your glass down on the table Nanny" the other evening. He is beginning to use past tense and plurals too. He refers to himself as "I" or "Marcus". Marcus will repeat words or phrases many times til he is sure you get the point!
Marcus still loves hats - and helping with everything.

Redhat red hat!

Two hats today!

Proud boy!

Happy boy!

On the steam train

Marcus knows he lives in Harlington and will tell you that. He can count three objects and knows that three is more than one or two.
Marcus's interests still revolve round trains, diggers and dustbin lorries - but he also loves to paint, glue and glitter. He really enjoys playing in the sand and asks for the lid to be taken of the sand pit most days.

 

Marcus can walk to the village shop and back with ease - and have energy to play in the park on the way home. He can jump forwards and consistently climbs the stairs with one foot on each step. He likes to jump down each step too. He can jump off the bottom step without holding on.

 Tantrums still occur - at the moment he has taken to not wanting a bath so that is usually the first tantrum of the day. If Marcus gets hurt he wants you to "kiss it" to make it better.

The tablet is still favourite for watching dustbin and digger videos. Marcus can get these up himself on Kids Youtube.. We limit the time he watches - as with the TV.

Marcus stayed happily with Nanny and Granddad while Sam and I went to Pride for the day.
