Nat is now 2.5 years old, another 6 more months before he hits 3! Time flies so fast and with it, comes many changes too.
Thank God that his terrible 2s was not so terrible, haha. The temper tantrums are also getting lesser as he learns that crying and screaming will not get him what he wants, although it does at times when we just give in for the sake of stopping the tantrum! =p
Nat is learning about the reward system too. It's easier to bribe him into behaving when he knows he can have a jelly/sweet/toy if he behaves himself. And he's also learning to compare himself with his peers especially if he has something (eg: a toy)and his friends do not.
He can carry on a conversation quite well now, and has started asking "why" and "how come"... Sometimes I get really exasperated but choose to look at the funny side of it. Usually the exasperation comes becoz I do not know how to answer his "why, mommy, whys"... =p
Nat loooves to sing and make up his own songs. It is hilarious, some of the things he sings and I have no idea where he gets that from! =p
And for the past couple of weeks, he has been coming to sleep with us at 5 plus am and he likes to sleep on my pillow next to me. If he wakes up earlier than me, he will generally stay quiet until I wake up. And I will be greeted with such a sweet smile. :)
