I've just had such a drama before leaving a cara...

2yo saying sorry

Does anyone else's 2yo (26 months) say sorry? My son has started saying it but when we're doing something he doesn't like (eye drops / hand washing)? Makes me feel like he hates me and he's just wanting me to stop 😭 At this age does he actually know what sorry means?

6 month old not laughing

Hi, our 6mo isn't laughing yet, should we be concerned? She smiles all the time and does little squeals, but when she goes to laugh she will shove her hand in her mouth instead. It's like she's trying to stop herself doing it.
