Jianna at 20 Months

Jianna turned 20 months old on 30 November 2013. Here are some updates:

• She now likes to feed herself at mealtimes.
• She would ask Mummy to read to her. She would open a particular page and upon hearing some 'reading' done, would then close the book and say "the end".
• She can recognise quite a few colours - black, blue, green, orange, pink, purple, yellow, red - and name most of them.
• She's still picky about who she allows to carry her.
• She can say 'no thanks' when declining something.
• She knows '10' comes after '9'.
• She can choose the Thomas (or other) video clips she wants to watch by pointing to the thumbnail on the computer.
• She can say her brothers' names, though not clearly.
• She can 'sing' the national anthem and parts of the state anthem. She can also do the actions for her school song.
• She often says 'Why?'.
• She can put on and take off her pants by herself.

Julian at 78 Months

Julian turned 78 months old on 28 November 2013.

• On 3 November 2013, Julian reported that his bottom two incisors are loose. A visit to the dentist on 26 November got them both extracted. Julian was very brave!
• He reads quite a bit of Geronimo Stilton comics so much so one night we caught him talking in his sleep, "I'm the editor of the Rodent's Gazette. My name is Geronimo Stilton!".
• He is able to help Jianna wear her shoes.
• For some time now he has been able to help us type and send smses.

Justin turned 52 months old on 25 November 2013. He now weighs 19kg. Here are some interesting conversations we've had with him recently. 

Conversation #1: 
Daddy: Justin, what do you want to be when you grow up? 
Justin: I want to be a toy maker. 
Daddy: Can you make lots of money? 
Justin: No, I want to make toys. 

Conversation #2: 
Justin: 7+7=14 
Mummy: Yes. What is Justin + Julian? 
Justin: Family. 

Lately he's into asking for definitions of words, phrases, things.
