New Things I Can Do: I can jump really high and especially like jumping on my trampoline. I now usually drink out of cups with no lids on them. I'm sleeping in a big boys bed where I can get in and out by myself. I can count to ten in French and English and almost count to 20 in French and English as well. I can recognise and sound out half the letters in the alphabet. I can throw underarm now and I know all the cricket umpire signals. I love roleplaying...especially pretending I'm going grocery shopping and running into Festus (my favourite cashier!). I'm great at holding hands with my parents and going on long walks. I love playing outside and hanging on the bars in the playground. I'm so proud now that I can climb to more and more places.
New Words: "No, thank you" (I say this each time I'm offered food that I'm fussy about! I don't talk in complete sentences and sometimes I can be difficult to understand but I'm talking more and more.
Favourite Animal: Despite my parents bringing me regularly to see the animals at Van Hage's, I'm not an animal lover. But I do look forward to running into two black cats, Jack and Harry, on our way to the park.
Friends I See Often: Amy, Oliver, Robert.
Favourite Hobbies: I'm always asking to play outside....and loved going on holiday where I got to play in the water and on the beach. I'm a real wiz at puzzles---and can do puzzles with over 30 pieces no problem by myself. I love books and can sit and be read to for over an hour. I'm obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine. I love doing his puzzles, reading all his books and playing with my trains. I have developed a real love for trains recently! Trains, trains, trains...that's all I think about lately!
Foods I Like: I'm not an adventurous eater and can be quite fussy. I do however like egg sandwiches, sweet potato, humous, all fruit and my usual snack of raisins and cheerios"

| Daddy says I have exceptionally good hand-eye co-ordination. |
 |
| Here I am playing cricket with Daddy and Uncle Jamie. I get to play now that I can hit a ball accurately. |
 |
| I love sleeping with a pillow and a blanket now. |
 |
| After playing in the park, my usual routine is climbing on to this rock and then jumping off. |
 |
| I'm a pretty good brother. I love playing with Grace and she makes me laugh. I also like it when Gracie tries to "get" me. |
 |
| Most summer nights we went walking to our park after dinner. I would kick the ball most of the way there. |
 |
| I'm happy most of the time, especially when outdoors. |
 |
| I like watching others play and am quite the observer. Often I say "shy" when meeting new people and turn my head away. |
 |
| I became quite daring at the park this summer. I was so proud of myself when I finally was able to walk up the big kids slide. |
 |
| I love playing with trains. I went on my first ride of the Underground and on my first real steam train this summer. |
 |
| Here I am on my big boy bed. I love sleeping and when Grace goes down for her afternoon nap, so do I. Mommy likes it that I still sleep close to two hours during the day! |
