17 Months

To get started on this blog I'll give a rundown on where we're at right now.
B is 17 months old, loves playing with cars. Last week he had an ear and throat infection and was very miserable and hard to deal with and then developed a rash from the medicine he was prescribed. Fortunately he is over it all now and back to his normal happy self.
This week we went to Kindergym on Monday, he is the youngest one there (it's for 18 months to school age really) but he does enjoy it and I think it's good for him to participate in structured activities and give him a bit of challenge and a chance to develop his gross motor skills.
I've been really missing interaction with other mums and kids as this year our regular playgroups haven't been happening as most of the other mothers are back at work. We've caught up a few times with one of our friends which has been good but I have been wanting something regular. I think B gets bored at home as he can be quite clingy and whinge at home and doesn't like me to go away from him but when we're out of the house he's quite happy to go off and explore independently.
We went to the Caboolture Early Years Centre yesterday and found out they have a few programs there we might be able to go to which would be great for us both, but we went along today and it had been cancelled (possibly because of the massive amount of rain we have had all week) but will try again next time.
B's behaviour was a bit better today, he is enjoying the 'new'/old toys his Nona gave him on the weekend (which used to be Tim's and his brothers when they were kids) and when he was napping I set up the playroom differently and put his little table and chairs set in there and he was excited to see it was all different. A change really can be as good as a holiday. :-) Only watched 2 shows Roary and In the Night Garden which is good.
He ate a lot of fruit today, his favourite things to eat right now are grapes, pineapple, strawberries (when we have them) and chicken or fish fingers. That last thing is probably not so great but its good to have a food he can eat on his own without me having to spoon feed him. He had shepherd's pie for dinner tonight - it was a good idea to cook in bulk and freeze a couple for when Tim's running late home and we can't all eat together.
Anyway I think that's quite enough for my very first blog, will write more when I can!
