Happy Bday Zacariah!! I LOVE YOU BROTHER

Happy Bday dear Zacky brother!!! Reuben was so good and so enthusiastic at celebrating his brother's bday. I have to say Zac was not really aware of what was going on but Reuben had a really good time.
Here my three boys my pride and my joy off course!!! A Zac wondering "what was all that about" and a Reuben who was singing happily the bday song to his belowed brother.
On the day we had my friend Elena and Andrei over and in the afternoon after R came home from nursery we went to the park...it was a sunny but bitter cold day. Reuben was brilliantly looking after his brother...I love this picture...talks so well about their relationship. LOve how they come alive each when they see each other....
A moment of dummy time...pleased to report today is the 5th day Reuben has no dummy....he still asks for it but yes, we now are dummy free. Reuben knows the mice have taken the top of his dummies and now all we have left is yukky dummies that are no good. He was ok when I told him but first evening we went through a lot of questions such as: "mummy mice like cheese...not dummies....where is my dummy? or mice only ate my brown dummies where are my pink and my green dummies?" I tell you what dear readers kids are not silly stupid they so know what they want and can argue just as well as us adults...or shall I say us adults are sometimes so childlish about our arguments?:)))
What a shame this pic is blurry...we were all too excited. Mummy wearing an old top and a scrunchie as had no time to be yummy mummy....
And finally on Saturday a big big bday bash for Zac!! I think the shock of seeing so many of his friends (our friends) got to him as he was sucking his dummy and he only does that when he is upset, concentrating or just amazed at something....!:)) Reuben was amazingly good. We went swimming in the morning as always then Marie Booker (Alfie's mum) has offered to take Reuben to her house so we can all do the preparations for the bday....and they all arrived in time for the party, Reuben loves his friend Alfie whom he has been in nursery since baby room (8-9 months). THey are both different but so good together. Reuben was so good....he is good....love him so much these days. Reuben you are so so amazing...loving being your mummy. XXXXX

My little array of sunshine...

Reuben has been amazing recently...he is such a lovely boy. Has developped a little "I need to see other people's homes" and therefore keeps asking me to take him to various kids houses after nursery. We had visited Alfie recently and that was nice so they also came and saw us...which indeed was so cool...
Reuben and Alfie had been together in nursery since baby room seeing them playing together just so fun. Zac off course joined in but they were so lovely and that also meant a lot to me.
CRafts too have been something T seems to like these days....indeed...painting, sticking, glueing and such....been so good even Zac enjoyed it. However I do find I get so shattered by the eveining all I want to do is just flop back and sleep.
Brotherly love. I am so so thankful to GOd that they keep getting on so well. They share most times and also they love each other which really is like balm to my heart. We had been so busy with Zac that often Reuben was just plodding along although all day I am trying so desperatley to plan things that make both happy..most of the time we succeeed but then we dont always...
BUbbles both my kids just love them....and well it went down very very well...my kitchen was just soap glorious soap.
MOre crafts more swimming, playdates...we had been rather busy....enjoying the early evenings. reuben curling up on his grandpa chair and then reading a story watching Thomas.....then falling asleep. I am loving his cuddles...his speech which is amazing...his singing....not his sleeping at night which happens in my room most often...and I end up on the floor. Me hopes its a phase...but he does say he wants to be in a room with us all. It must make sense as he is on his own in his room and yes the rest of us all together. So spring comes we will make some changes and I hope it will be all good...then again if not will just play along nothing lasts for ever does it? I am thankful for most things....my boys are perfect Reuben is making me PROUD and really is such a wonderful boy. God thanks for these lovely boys.
