There was some quite good sleeping by Joseph during the week (only one "bad" night when I was up to him three times!)...now that it is colder he has taken to sleeping full time in his single bed. Dan puts him to bed every night and says that Joseph likes to "snuggle down" once story time is over.
Here's a pic from dinner during the week - a very nutritious half tin of chocolate creamed rice! It is very difficult for us to get Joseph to eat something hot during the week for dinner so he has a repertoire of substantial snacks that we rotate. He is going really well feeding himself.
One of Joseph's favourite things at the moment is when Dan gives him a horsey ride...in fact he'll use any opportunity to plead for one. We have been working on Joseph's manners lately (pleases and thank yous etc) and on Sunday night he was asking Dan for a horsey ride with a "please Daddy darling" added on the end for extra good measure/tug at the heart strings!
I took Joseph down to Onehunga library on Saturday morning for story time and to get a supply of new books. Joseph didn't want to participate in any of the story time activities/songs but did enjoy choosing some books. Here he is with his favourite/best choice - a book about cars and trucks! It has been his constant companion since Saturday morning. It has been to bed with him, been tucked under his arm whilst we read other books, been read in the car and has been to Bear Park for mat time. He took great delight in telling various teachers and parents at Bear Park how it was "his" book and how he had been to the library to choose it!
He is really into "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back" at the moment and coincidentally, yesterday, three books arrived from Godfather Matt for Joseph (very much appreciated!) - one of which was "The Cat in the Hat". So, now we can go back to the beginning and find out why the Cat in the Hat caused so much trouble in the first place!
Finally, here's a shot of Joseph being a tiger.
