So, Thomas is really starting to be a small person, in that he is getting really mobile and beginning to problem-solve. He can get on and off his new table and chairs easily. We have solved the issue of him climbing up the stairs, sort of: if we keep the stairgate at the [...]
just seeing what my new plugin does…
I forgot to tell you in my last post that Thomas has FINALLY decided to clap. I’ve been trying to get him to clap for ages, and bizarrely he started doing it while I was absent-mindedly singing “Let everyone clap hands with me…” in the kitchen! Well, I suppose it’s not bizarre, but [...]
