The transformation is nearly complete

Peanut celebrated his second birthday nearly a month ago and he seems to be changing from baby to little right before our eyes.

He is getting very good at telling us what he wants, he is not be talking in full sentences - well he is only two - but he is pretty well trying to. He is walking and running around everywhere is getting less willing to sit in the pram while we are at the shops. And with his latest haircut he looks every bit the part of the little boy.

Last weekend M34tb4LL took the bars off one side of Peanuts cot and attached the stability rail that it came it. The cot we bought for Peanut can be converted into a toddler bed. The first night that Peanut slept in his 'bed' it took him a while to settle down. Each time we tried to put into his bed he got upset because he couldn't pull the side up. I suppose it would seem every strange to someone who has spent two years sleeping in an enclosed, cage like bed to suddenly being put into a bed that has no sides and is wide open.

But the funny thing it was the first night that Peanut seemed to be nervous about his new sleeping arrangements. The next morning when his Nana (my mother-in-law) came over so we could go to the farmers market together, Peanut was very keen to show her his new bed and how he could get in and out of it all my himself.

The next night he was happy enough to go to bed and the night after that he did not want to be carried to and placed in, he wanted to walk to his room himself and get into the bed on his own. And i must say that know there is no bar to try to get over - it is much easier for M34tb4LL and me to give Peanut a goodnight kiss and cuddle.

So what is next in the baby-to-boy transformation? Toilet training... It has started, sort of. Peanut has a training seat and can climb the steps and sit on the seat, but personally - I'm not really sure how to get him make the connection as to what to do when he is there! And having a house that is fully carpeted, including one of the bathrooms - I hope the learning is not going to get TOO messy!
