Advantages: Mr Happy

Disadvantages: Mr Grumpy

My youngest little boy will be two in July and, much as he will always be my baby, I can no longer escape from the fact that he is a fully-fledged toddler with a determined mind of his own. So, here, in the words of the Mr Men books, is a little summary of some of the personality traits and characteristics that make up my toddler.

*Mr Happy*
Nobody can be sunnier and happier with their lot than a toddler who has been fed, watered and isn't tired! Mine even has a Mr Happy top which he wears with pride pointing at 'Ha-ee' to anybody who will care to listen.

*Mr Tickle*
Simple games of 'Round and Round the Garden' have my little boy in hysterics, shouting 'tittle, tittle!'

*Mr Greedy*
My toddler has mastered the art of self-feeding and is truly independent when it comes to getting the food into his own mouth. This is an age of enjoying food, especially sweet things. One of his first words was 'more!' Unfortunately, this tends to apply less to those lovingly prepared vegetables left on his plate.

*Mr Sneeze*
Ever since starting nursery at the age of one, a constant stream of snot has graced his beautiful little face. Adds an extra dimension to those wet toddler kisses that he loves to give!

*Mr Bump*
When there's so much world to discover, your average toddler doesn't have the time to slow down. Mine is no exception. I've had to sign the accident book at nursery today yet again. Oopsadaisy!

*Mr Messy*
A mucky toddler is generally a happy toddler. The only time my boy is spotless is when he's in the bath! This characteristic isn't helped by grandparents buying play dough and suchlike for Christmas. Thanks folks.

*Mr Silly*
My little fella always likes to play up to an appreciative audience or encourage his big brother to play the fool. Slapstick over-acting, silly noises and sticking out tongues all count as the height of sophisticated humour for a two year old.

*Mr Chatterbox*
He always starts the day with a good conversation - usually to himself as he chatters away first thing in the morning. He has got to grips with the spoken word and is not averse to giving orders and instructions to those around him. (Mummy, Sit Down!) His current favourite word is 'naughty', said to anybody that dares to stand in the way of his latest endeavour!

*Mr Fussy*
Yes - my boy will devour everything, except for the one particular meal that I've lovingly prepared for him! The word 'no' was pretty high up in the list of favourite words.

*Mr Dizzy*
The latest craze for my not quite two year old seems to be spinning himself around until he falls over with dizziness. See Mr Bump above for the inevitable outcome!

*Mr Grumpy*
Just as my little man can be the happiest person in the world, that can change in an instant should dinner be late, sleep needed or, god forbid, somebody say 'no' to him. Just watch that bottom lip quiver! Luckily, we haven't had any tantrums - yet!

*Mr Quiet*
Only applicable when asleep. Fortunately my (big) baby still sleeps like a proverbial baby and we don't hear a peep out of him for a twelve hour stretch. Now if only his older brother would stop waking us up for a wee in the middle of the night...

*Mr Clever*
To every Mum, their little toddler is the cleverest, most amazing little person ever. Mine is no different. He can already count to ten, recognise different shapes, string four words together (Mummy Dinner All Gone!) and has learnt to climb onto the chair. Clever boy! Poor Mummy!

*Mr Perfect*
What more needs to be said!
