We're in Johannesburg visiting granny and grandpa and enjoying the sun. We decided to let Dylan sleep in a big bed, mainly because the baby cot is a bit too small for him. He really enjoys this new 'freedom' cos after putting him to bed, he keeps getting out and happily comes back to the living room. Making him go to sleep takes long and requires mom or dad to be on the bed with him to convince him sleep isn't a bad thing for little boys...
One advantage of his room is that the doorhandle is just too high for him, so he can't get out of his room when the door is closed. Today, for his afternoon nap, he was 'locked in' and he was banging the door and generally being unhappy for over an hour, before he finally went to sleep. This is how we found him:
Ok, I admit, he had a little help getting to the top!
Dylan finally seems to have settled down in the toddler group at school - at least he is no longer as shy as he was, we were told he is now quite naughty. Most importantly, he loves going, especially now the weather seems to have improved and he can play outdoors half the day. When he has dinner in the evening we discuss his day and he tells us what he did, ate and who he played with. He also seems to learn a new song every week so we generally get treated to that too. The photos aren't from school, I just thought the short hair and the tie made him look like a naughty schoolboy.
...mission accomplished!
The party was on Saturday afternoon. Dylan, Nicholas, Joost, Manon and Lisa had heaps of fun, along with Rosalie, Rodney and the rest of our family and friends who could make it.
