James loves playing with his play food and plates etc - we got him a toy kitchen for his birthday which I hope he will play with more once he has some saucepans, and once the weather means he has to play inside more. He also got a playhouse for the garden which he loves, plus a sand and water table. He got some new wooden toy food plus some dressing up kit.
The final tooth came through a couple of weeks ago, hooray! No more teething (until the next baby).
We managed to get James out of nappies about six weeks ago now. He does fine with wees with us (though still has an accident at nursery most days) but is still rather unreliable for poos. I'm glad we finally managed to find a chance to do it before his third birthday and while the weather was good.
We've had a few short breaks this summer rather than one big holiday. In June we left James with his Wiltshire grandparents while we had a child-free weekend in Dorset. He had a lovely time and the highlight was a trip to the circus, which he still talks about. We also had a few days in Norfolk where he rode on lots of little trains and paddled in the sea, and a weekend camping with friends in Dorset where he loved playing on bales of hay and seeing lots of animals.
The next big change in James's life will be becoming a big brother. He knows all about the baby in my tummy but I don't think he has the first idea how things will change in just a few weeks...
