The 21st Month

This month, Rayray turns into a real monkey! She starts to REALLY throw tantrums, saying NOOOOO to other kids in playground, pushing other kids, pulling their hair etc etc so I often end up spending the whole duration we are in playground apologising to the mums and kids! Arrgghh, its so frustrating! But apparently Rayray doesn't do this at all at nursery???!!! Anyway, thanks to Clare, apparently this is how little monkeys show their affections!!! Not that it makes me feel better but at least I understand that they are frustrated to express their feelings hence the aggression! I honestly can't imagine if we were in Taiwan when Rayray is going through this phase as the kind of dirty looks I got when Rayray just 'nudged' other kids was bad enough!

Is now very confident on scooter

This year the English summer hasn't been the 'typical' one where most people are not sure if we were in autumn or spring or even winter sometimes! We have been getting plenty of sun hence Rayray and I are soooo tanned! We are out and about EVERY single day in the sun!

On a rather hot and sweaty day and the look of 'mummy, do you HAVE to take photos of me all the time?' lol

Rayray has settled in nursery well and just goes off to play with other kids when I drop her off and the two days when she goes, they are ever soooo precious to me!!!

Oh and Rayray got her chicken pox the second time this month! Can you believe it? Apparently it is not uncommon for little ones under the age of two to get it again especially if the first time round is mild! 

Oh hello mummy! Look at me being naughty standing on the chair!

ahhh, stretching out in the park! funny pose for a toddler!

"there" is her favourite word of the month. She can pronounce most words now and is good at expressing herself when it comes to food, wanting various objects i.e. magazines, books, toys etc.
