Jasper pointed at the bowl of salad at the far end of the dinner table "whats that?", "Thats salad" I said. He went "I want salad!". He is saying more complex words and phrases like "finished", "I want Andrew in the pen", "its a question mark", "one hundred", "I like going to playgroup", "whats daddy's name? Daddy's name's Andrew". He still spills food using a spoon but is very good using a fork. He can spear tiny onion pieces with a fork. He starts to understand simple additions and gives an answer when I ask him what 2 + 3 equals or what 2 + 2 =. He sang the song TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR in the bath, both Andrew and I heard it. (he still says DAR for STAR). When I ask him "do you like to sing?" he would pour out the alphabet song really quickly. He also kinda sing the song Jelly fish, Old MacDonald had a farm. He can understand a few emotions "happy", "sad", "mad" and "scared". He can read a few simple books from cover to cover including the ABCs, numbers, teddy bear and 2 of Dr.Seuss books. He also understand the traffic lights. He understands most of what is said in both languages but rarely ever follows instructions or refuses to do what we ask him to do. These days I tuck him to bed at 9pm and he wakes around 8:30am. One nap a day 1pm - 3:30pm or simply within half an hour after lunch.
