Another little milestone hit on the weekend...Thomas managed to say a bona fide sentence (drum roll) -
"Bilk Mumum peeeeeze" (while jumping up and down hanging onto the stairgate by the kitchen)...which roughly translates as "May I urgently have a drink of milk please Mummy"...
Although just a selection of his (numerous) standard words strung quickly together, it does certainly count and from the looks of things he's rather ahead of the curve in this respect!
We've also had just a hint of what awaits in the (*shudder*) "Terrible Twos" - at times he's now clearly saying "No" and shaking his head when he isn't very keen on an idea and definitely exploring his powers of self determination (sometimes switching plans of attack between Mummy and Daddy to see if the rules change), although (on the bright side) we do seem (between us) to have almost completely stopped him throwing leftover food he doesn't want on the floor. Now, when he has finished eating he will (largely) hold his plate up by way of asking for it to be carefully removed, even helping to pick up any errant bits and load them onto the plate before removal...next mission - get him to put up with having his face/nose wiped without toddler meltdown... ;)

He certainly takes after his mummy and chatters all day! I'm impressed every day there is a new word! Dadddy train choo choo counts as a sentence too right?
