FIRST NCT FRIEND BDAY and MAY BANK HOLIDAY

Hello! We have had a lovley weekend so far! Reuben had a long week at nursery and he seems to have done it all wthout napping through the day. So first ever week with no sleep during the day! Bless:)
He is fantastic with his trains and has been adamently asking we buy him HANK for quite some time but he has so many trains I think Bday comming up we just need to wait and see ...but I somewhow think we are gona have a bday of trains...:)))

We had a lovely day at Jasmin's bday! I do remeber these 9 ladies we preggered together through the NCT course and expected out first boundles of joy! Now the 10 kids (one couple had twins) are coming up to 3yrs old and its emotional well for me at least. Particularly with Jasmin's mummy Sian I was so close at the time we were waiting together and spening time in the garden talking about her being one of the first ones to pop...she did and she had the gorgeous Jasmin. She is a very beautiful content and clever little princess.

I was fearing a little this day as Reuben either settles well with loads of people around or he keeps asking me to take him HOME. Well today we got there at 12:30ish and he did not once say lets go home til 4ish. Zac even loves it. He had milk...slept chattered and well we all had fun. Reuben ate sandwiches and all that he could see!! - I do think this week has been brilliant food wise too. Here he is tucking into Mr T's lunch...naughty Reuben saying Mummy no pictures let me eat!:))

THe moment Naomi enetered Jasmin;s house (Jasmin in the back licking her finger) Reuben was in heaven. Naomi goes to same nursery and I remeber her from when she was a baby as we used to go together to Bounce and Rhyme at the local library....Emma her mummy a very lovely lady. (Reuben kept cuddleing her today...perhaps preparing the ground for later?!) here they are admiring NEMO;s in the pond. What a fine garden and what a brilliant house and off course nice family...nice friends...even the sun was shining so was a fabulastic day! (you get the picture with all my atributes).

Saturday we had Reuben's best friend Karan over with his family. Karan arrived to England with his family to visit his uncle and aunt (they live in our development) and has been in Uk now for 2 months. About a month ago we invited him to play with Reuben as I noticed he was playing on his own in the courtyard a lot. He is the most charming and lovley boy. At the age of 5 he is totally so chilled and allows Reuben to boss him around. He hugs and gives his toys to Reuben. I came to love Karan a lot his gentle and very patient nature the way he never throws tantrums and is so understanding with Reuben has cought my eye and heart. He will be so missed. Reuben regularly cries when Karan is to go home or they are to part. He wakes in the morning and says: bla bla bla KARAN, gives me the puppy eyes and says "no nursery mummy ....going KARAN" he loves this boy and I am so proud he is having already so many international friends.

We have a lot to thank Karan, firstly that he understood so much our son, that he was a real good example to Reuben, that he tought Reuben to ride so well his scooter and bike, that he played hours on end with him and that helped me to look after Zac or feed him. I hope the boys will stay friends. Karan we will miss you and your family a lot!:) You have been to Reuben a real good big brother. Hope you come again soon and we can spoil you too!!

Reuben eats well! Yes yes he does now he seemd to have developed an apetite!!! HURRAY. He is so into his trains there is no way to describe it. I can;t believe he can kill hours playing...I sometimes feel bad thinking he has been so emerged in THomas land he has not cuddled me or talked to me...for what it seems hours....but he is the most loving boy too often comes and makes Zac laugh and us as well.

here Spencer and Thomas are debating which one had more pizza and Reuben has snatched it off them....so good to play and eat! I guess some would think not very good but hey...I think it makes him eat so bring on all trains....:)))

Here see?! He is feeding Spencer and then he is snatching it off him and stuffing himself:))) I know I am to blame...I thought him this game in a desperate atempt to get him to eat!

In less then 2 months we are celebrating his 3rd bday....I am already excited!! It will be a quite and good one I am sure!
