Child Growth and Development: What My 2-Year Old Can Do
This is the final installment of a series of articles about my son’s growth and development at different ages: 19-month old, 20-month old, and 23-month old.
By the time K reached 24 months, he’s like a grown-up. He can talk, express his feelings, and even quarrel!

Child Growth and Development: What My 23-month Old Can Do
I have written about my son’s developments in other two posts: 20-month old and 19-month.
As I said before, not to show off anything nor to compare. It’s more for my own record as of what K can do so that I can refer to it when the need arises. It’s for fun more than anything else.
