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.

Hi Maria,
Andrew does not want to sleep in his own bed lately, since we moved in the new house and even before... we keep thinking that it is a phase and really when they will be teenagers they will not want to cuddle and sleep with us anymore... so we try and enjoy this special time with our boy as this phase will pass too soon...hope that you can make it through, too! Just remember they grow up fast, in the meantime, try and find yourself a better place to sleep than the floor!:)
Marta.

Marta honey I so need to hear stories like that. Here in Uk people really do look down at you if your kids are up after 8pm or if they still sleep after the age of 1yrs old during the day, if they do come in your bed for a cuddle....oh I think to go bed to the root of things. Anyway as you say how very nice they love us so very much. Lets embrace that.... MX
