27 months
Arthur is 27 months old!
This month we have had Nana and Farj here with us (my mum and dad!). They were here not that long ago in May and when they pulled up at our house without prompting Arthur ran over and said “nana, farj” even though he’d never said it before…..you can imagine how delighted mum and dad were!!
We all had a great time with them and it was their first time meeting Freddie!
Arthur had sleepovers with them, trips out, lots of sweets and ice cream, and was generally spoiled rotten!
While mum and dad were here I got a little braver with potty training and started going out and about without nappies, he’s done so well! We have also started having dry nappies at nap time and even some overnight too!! One problem though is that Arthur already doesn’t like nap time but now when I put a nappy on him he knows that signals nap so I think I might need to stop putting them on him at nap time too
I will write a post about our potty training journey at some point!!
Arthur really is a little parrot at the moment and is picking up new words all over the place! He is putting words together more and more, particularly when he is re-telling a book or something he’s seen on TV (mostly a peppa pig episode or thomas the tank engine movie!)
He can say all the numbers 1-10 now and can always do 7,8,9,10 in the right order, he loves counting everything!
Something that makes me really laugh is that he’s starting to use words to distract us, at nap time he starts telling me what all his different teddies are “snake, twit twooo (owl), pakka (makka pakka)…..” He also told me he needed a poo as I tried to put his pants on him the other day, so I stopped and then he just wondered off – outwitted by a 2 year old, brilliant!
Right now Arthur is really in to Thomas the tank engine. He would watch it all day if he could!! Perhaps a trip to Thomas land is in order next summer when we visit the UK!
He still absolutely loves being a big brother, the start of every day it’s Freddie he’s most excited about seeing not me!!
If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen we’ve had another new arrival in our family! We have got a puppy! His name is Koopa (yes, as in Koopa Troopa from Mario!)
Koopa and Arthur are great little buddies and spend lots of time marching around the garden, chasing each other around and generally just having lots of fun.
My parents left a week ago now so now we are starting to figure out and settle down into our routine. It’s something I’ve been worried about but so far we seem to be doing pretty well. By the time I write next months update I’m hoping to be feeling more confident about it all!
He is doing really well with the potty training, hope it continues. I have a Thomas obsessed son too but we are yet to go to Thomas Land! Popping over from #twinklytuesday X

This all sounds so familiar. Tin Bix Tot is constantly outwitting me! Potty training is nearly there too. I think we are some way off getting nighttime cracked though. Daytime naps have almost completely dried up here 🙁 #twinklytuesday

He looks so grown up! I can’t believe how well you are doing with potty training too – Toby doesn’t have the slightest interest at the moment, although I suppose it’s maybe a bit easier for you guys when Arthur can just wander around outside in his pants! I think Toby might be a bit chilly if we tried that here!!
