Well, I have at least proved I am not that good at journal keeping!

Note to self: Must try harder.

Pie is now 2years and 7 months and is definitely good at learning, without me having to keep a record of it!

He is facsincated by numbers, and seems to find it all very easy. He has been able to count to 10 for about 6 months now, and yesterday at play gym he demonstrated to me how well he can actually read the printed numbers. They have a target throwing wedge with holes numbered 1-10, and 12 numbered bean bags. He picked each one up in turn, read out what the number was and then tried to throw it into the correct hole. And if it went into the wrong hole, then he would retrieve it and try again. I was very impressed - I didnt realise he could read all the numbers! He even improvised with the number 12 (there wasnt a hole labelled 12 so he threw it into the number 2 hole!)

When we got home I tried asking him to identify some words and letters. He recognised his name, and the letters M for Mummy, D for Daddy and C and L for his siblings!

Baby number 5 is due next weekend so I'm sure I'll be as erratic as ever at posting!
