Cheeky Skallywag












Leon's talking is still coming on well, with 'ready' 'coom (toast)' 'fish' and random things that sound like swearing when forced to have his nappy changed/can't have the telly on type things.


He is running pretty fast and will run away if he knows it's nappy changing time. He has also taken to dragging me, if I'm lucky, by the hand, but end of cardigan or trousers do just as well, to wherever he thinks I should be to best serve him - the back door (to go out in the garden)/telly/kitchen (food or drink). He is very good at ignoring me considering if you ask him to do something he wants to do like fetch a book to read to him or a toy, he will do it no problem.

We have also successfully managed to teach him to come down stairs backwards now. The staircase here at Fieldside is a spiral one and he does it really well, even, with a bit of coaching, getting past the stairgate at the top and turning round. He's up them like a rat up a drainpipe and on one occaision when we weren't paying attention did just go upstairs by himself to visit Nana and Grumps.
