The change in DS1 has been phenomenal. He no longer licks floors / doors / furniture (thank goodness), he talks for the world, and is exceptionally bright. Yesterday he climbed his Gruffalo Trunki, in order to put his bedroom light on..!

He knows all his colours, his numbers to 15, and how to operate most of the equipment in the house. He has full-blown reasoned conversations with us, and argues exceptionally well.

He's just turned 2.5yrs old.

Life is only going to continue to get more interesting ;)

Happy Feet 2

Today DS1 and I went to the cinema to see Happy Feet 2 (his 4th cinema experience). I have an Insider card so assumed it would be cheaper. Well, I ended up being cheaper than DS1! £10.50 later, we were in the cinema.

On our own.

DS1 looked a little concerned, but was more than happy to have his pick of seats. I assumed that people would come in late.

Nope. Just us. What a brilliant experience! The film was great (I really didn't rate the first 'Happy Feet'), and DS1 and I were able to converse during it too ("What's that orange, Mummy?" 'That's krill, DS1' "What's krill?.." and so on).

I worked out, on leaving, that whilst I'm home, the best time to go during term time, is Wednesday. Orange Wednesday's make it £6.50 for both of us. Definitely an improvement on £10.25, and even more of an improvement on the standard £12.25. (I must be old, I think the prices are ridiculous!)
