Raffy seems to grow up faster as the months go by. He has moved to the 'Toddlers' section of his nursery, again a couple of months early. He is now very mobile and quite strong-willed - some quite impressive amateur dramatics can be seen if he doesn't get his own way. He's great fun though - he loves looking at books and can now recognise a lot of objects and animals, and make the appropriate sounds. We spent Christmas at Eddie's, and Raffy got two wonderful rocking 'horses' from Eddie and Tara - actually a motorbike and a plane, to be precise. My parents bought him a lovely tricycle which has a handle so we can push him along until he's big enough to use the pedals.
