19+months

Esther is becoming a real toddler now - telling us very emphatically what she wants and doesn't want. She is also showing her caring side, lots of hugs and kisses to Mummy and Daddy and to her little friends when they have play dates. She is loving her little 'Daby' (baby) which sucks on dummy and bottle - and likes to push it along in a little stroller. Her fascination with playing in the car continues - she can now turn on the radio, the blinkers and the lights. So getting into the car after she's had a play can be full of surprises! A trip to the mall needs to include at least one 'ride' - Thomas, Peppa or Carousel ride - but she doesn't realise they actually move yet - hoping she doesn't for a long while yet! We're also moved into size 2 clothing - and I've packed away all the little cardigans and suits from her baby days.
