Happy New Year!

Lucas has crossed many milestones since I last blogged. Its amazing how fast he's growing; its almost as if he is trying his darnest to catch up!

Firstly, he is now fully toilet trained - yay!!!! It was by accident that he is now doing both no.1 and no.2 in the toilet. The NY weekend was a long one and no shops were open ( Fred drove around for an hour looking for one...) and we'd run out of diapers. So we decided - this is it; Lucas will just have to learn to sleep without a diaper. On the first night, before he went to sleep, I reminded him repeatedly that he will no longer have a diaper, so if he needs to pee, he will wake up to go to the toilet. And Voila! like magic, he woke up twice that night and the bed was dry!

However, the next 2 nights he didn't manage to get up on time, and I've had to change him but not the beddings. And for the last 2 nights, he goes to the toilet before he gets to bed, and sleeps through the night!

He also caught up very fast when he wanted to do his ka-ka and didn't have a diaper. I had to bribe him at first but now, he's going to the toilet like a pro!

He's so cute, when he does the 'drop' he says "very good! Bravo!" and then he gets up, points to the toilet and says "mama! chocolat!" (LOLS!!!!!)

Lucas has also started spending all day in school, eating (yes, eating!!!!) in the canteen with his friends. He is also starting to speak in french and loves talking on the telephone.

My fearless little boy is no longer fearless - he is scared of the dark; and when he gets up onto the playgym and climbs too high, he is scared and doesn't know how to get down.

He is into smurfs and robots, he has a collection of both toys. He loves watching and reading anything with robots in them. And his appetite has improved, though he is still not eating his veges.

Lucas is still asking for Santa Claus and presents, even though Christmas is over - somehow he still doesn't understand (or he refuses to understand) that Santa only comes once a year... He wakes me up every morning asking to open presents from Santa....
