The 2 yr mark

We saw a rather big leap of growth after nathan turned 2 last month.

He had a new sense of confidence to do things, like playing on the slide, running greater distances at double the speed, feeding himself snacks and dinner using the spoon, and mastering a new understanding of language use.

It is an exciting time now seeing him change so quickly. I guess it's also a time when he starts displaying acts from his sinful nature - stubborn behaviour and rebellion. We need to pray all the more for God's wisdom and patience to teach him correctly, and more importantly, to model godly behaviour with each other.

I try not to lose track of his development, just so tickled whenever he can say something new.

Punting

Punting is a regular hobby amongst students in cambridge. Some of them do it as a sport every other gd day wk end. But it was our very first time.

Both LC and I had a go, but i was totally hopeless. The pole was way too heavy for me, I gave up after only 10 mins, much preferred to be a rider. LC was much better, his punt moved a great distance.

3 families went together. The lovely weather made it all beautiful and pleasant. A picnic on the grass concluded our brillant outing.

Playing on slide

Slide play is a new milestone for Nathan. We've been to the playground umpty times, but he has finally mustered the courage to slide down. Before, he would sit right at the top, refusing to move his butt, blocking other children from sliding down.

Recently we started introducing the potty to nathan, but he resisted violently. So, the video shows how far he is into potty training. We thought perhaps it is a good idea to have 'play' with the potty, getting him used to sitting in it, and learns to use it in good timing, using it correctly has to take a willing toddler, there's no point forcing him at all.
