two little boys on the web
I helped to fix Mum’s headache last night. Mum has a cold and she had to lie down before dinner becuase her head was sore. So I helped her. I sat behind her and drew a picture of her head so we could look at it and see all the bones. Then we could see what was wrong with her head and make it better.
I drew the picture on Mum’s back using my finger. Then I said “Aha, I see!” I saw what was wrong and told Mum that it was all better. She smiled and said she felt better. I like looking after Mum.
When I cry Mum and Dad always ask me what’s wrong. Now I have learned some words I can tell them. I was running along and fell over and started crying and Dad came over and said “what’s wrong?” I said “Hurt foot. Hit toy!” Dad started looking at my foot and gave it a kiss but it didn’t make it all better. I was still crying so he picked me up and took me over to the window and we looked out. Then I got to use some other words I know.
“Birds singing!”
Today I am one and a half years old. Dad wanted to know how big I am so he measured me. I am 84.5 cm tall and I weigh 12.2 kg. So even though I am smaller than Jay I am bigger than he was when he was 1½. Maybe I am bigger than Dad was too. But he’s not telling us.
Today I had my first haircut. Pixi was looking after me and Jay. We were having lunch and I was eating lots of yummy food. Pixi had some scissors and she cut my hair as I was eating. I didn’t like having my hair cut much. But I like eating so that was OK. Now my hair is a bit shorter and neater and I look more like Jay. I like Jay. He’s fun.
I was feeling uncomfortable today because my nappy was messy. That happens to me a lot. But this time instead of waiting I went up to Dad and told him: “Mappy.” Then I took his hand and pulled him towards my room so he could change me. He seemed to like that even though he doesn’t always like changing my nappy. And I liked it because I didn’t have to wait for Mum or Dad to notice that I needed a change!
Tooth number three came today. It has been hurting for a while but now Mum and Dad can see it. It is at the top right under my nose. It feels really big in my mouth. And I think there are two more teeth on either side of it that will come out soon.
I have got another tooth to go with my first tooth! It is right beside the first one in the bottom front right of my mouth. I am glad that it came because now my mouth looks more even and I can smile and look cute instead of looking funny. Actually the teeth are pretty small so nobody sees them unless they tickle me and I laugh and open my mouth. Dad does this a lot. And I am going to visit my Nana soon and I bet she will tickle me even more. I hope she likes my teeth.
I have a tooth now, just like Jay and Mum and Dad. It’s in the bottom of my mouth at the front on the left. It feels funny and I like to stick my tongue out so I can feel the tooth. I also like to bite hard on a toy and then pull it out of my mouth: ping!
I think another tooth is coming very very soon.
I have been eating more different kinds of food in the last few weeks. Mum made a special trip to the organic supermarket and has made me all sorts of purées: asparagus, cauliflower, silver beet, sweet potato, pumpkin and rosemary and even apricot chicken! It all seems quite interesting and is good for throwing around. But I’m more interested in what everyone else is eating. And of course if I’m hungry I just want my yummy mummy’s milk.
Two nights ago I was asleep and funny things were happening and there was a spider web. I was scared and cried and Dad came in to see me. I told him that I was hurt with the spider web. He gave me a hug and tucked me into bed again and I went back to sleep. He said maybe I was having a nightmare.
Then last night I was sleeping when Felix woke up and cried in the middle of the night. He woke me up too and Dad came in and tucked us both back in and we went back to sleep. But then my pyjamas went all funny and I cried for Dad to come back. I told him that my pyjama pants were running away. He checked them for me and said they were OK. Then I felt all right and I went back to sleep. This must have been another nightmare.
When Felix wakes up in the night and cries, sometimes I say It’s all right Felix to him and he calms down and stops crying. Maybe Felix has nightmares too and that’s why he wakes up. Poor Felix.
