Playing

This is too easy...

Guess what I'm saying?

Although he's not saying a lot in the video, he can actually say quite a few words. He was very talkative until I had the camera pointed at him :)

Yum Yum

We were told by daycare that Ryan is feeding himself there so I thought I'll post video of him eating by himself. Unfortunately, the video doesn't show much as the battery was flat.

I didn't put the suction rubber under his bowl as it doesn't work on that table. We will have to change the table. Don't worry, he didn't go without food that night. He ended up asking his dad to feed him.

Daycare

Ryan has been at daycare for quite a while now and I don't think I have written anything on his progress there. So here goes...

The daycare changed its structure recently. At 18 months now, Ryan was supposed to be in the next class but because of the change, he will be staying in the babies' room till he turns 2 years of age. This makes him one of the older kids in the class.

Ryan loves daycare and is very comfortable with his surroundings there. Although he can't say the names of his classmates, he knows who they are.

Daycare has a theme every month which helps them learn and I must say, he has learned a lot. We hear new words coming from him quite often. He has a couple of Samoan teachers there and has even learned a Samoan word. The funny thing is he used it on Ashley when we went to picked him from daycare yesterday.

The word is 'awa'. It means don't or no. He was on the swing when we got there and Ashley went to get him of it but he kept saying awa to him and won't let him take the safety bar of him.

Daycare is expensvie but we don't know what we would have done without it.

Away From Home

My parents wanted to have Ryan spend the night at their place so we gave it a try last weekend. We were a bit nervous but apparently, he was a really good boy and we had nothing to be nervous about. It felt a bit weird to not have him at home and we did miss him but it would have been good for him though.

He spent the night there again last night as I had a function to go to and as it was held in the city, Ashley and I decided to have some time out. That's 2 Friday nights in a row that he hasn't slept at home!

By the way, if you have been following this blog, don't be shy to write comments as we would love to hear from you.
