I have a little one who has his two year check next week. Mum was sent a questionnaire which she has to fill in prior to the meeting. She has given me a copy of it. It's all fairly straight forward stuff, but a couple of things stood out to both of us as being tricky for a 24 month old.

The first one is jumping. We have been practising a lot and he can just about, sometimes, get both feet off the ground.

The second one is threading beads or pasta onto a shoelace. He can thread them onto a rigid thing, like a stick when it is standing up in playdough. We tried a pipe cleaner but he wasn't quite managing it, let alone a shoe lace! I'm not concerned because he'll get there soon.

Can your two year olds do these things easily? Mine is 24 months and a couple of weeks.
