Isaac's developmental update

Richard and I totally depend on the nursery to teach you about writing, reading etc as there's just no time in the weekdays and find weekends not really the time to 'educate' you as that's when we have fun together.  So, hopefully during the few months that popo and gong gong are here, you'll learn a few more things :)

Learning to write your name

 Well, we think you're doing not too bad.  You can just about write your name, and learning phonics and trying to read.  While in the car looking out of the window or watching TV, you will suddenly shout out 'Mummy, B.. 'buh, 'buh'' and some words you say, you will suddenly stop midsentence and start 'phonicing'.  You can also undress and dress yourself (when the clothes are not too tight), learning to put on shoes and socks, and love buttoning and unbuttoning.  This is to the extent of you wanting to wear everything with buttons or zips :)  

There's a few TV programmes that you really like, and which we quite enjoy too :)  Top of the lists are '64 Zoo Lane', 'Mickey mouse clubhouse', 'Mike the Knight', 'Octonauts' (we actually learn from this too), and 'Tree-fu Tom'.  Like all kids this generation, you also LOVE the iPhone and iPad, and play lots of games on it.  Your favourite is 'Jetpack'.  We were quite impressed at how you actually learnt to play this game all by yourself.  You know that you can only use the iPad in the weekends though, and we plan to stick by this for as long as possible.
