REUBEN MY FIRST BORN

The joy of my life Reuben my first born you are amazing:)) I am loving how you love, protect and lavish your brother. I hope and pray you grow up together to be best friends and each others support for ever....God bless you both.

Reuben, you had challanged our lives more than anything else ever....you had thought me who I am truly and deeply...for many things I thank you. YOU had also disturbed my life our life enough to realise WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE. I will forever love you and in a very very special way. When I see you "me" is lost and all I feel is love and a lot of pride because you are truley amazing my lovely first born.

THe way you talk to your daddy the way you miss him when he is not there is amazing. You and your dad have always had a special special bond. You love your dad and right now you spend most mornings with him...and you have a lot of special times like swimming and train track building together...

Zacky just woke up but here is how we look now:))) Mummy is wearing a vest top but people keep saying its my nighty...:))

you are suddenly so playfull and make up stories...here you were saying to daddy you are a roaring dinosaur...and its so sweet:))

TRULY HOW YOU REALLY ARE:)) HAPPY EXCITED, ADORABLE, VERY VERY CHEEKY and well TRULEY AND DEEPLY MADLY IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD AND US.

For now mummy is taking a break from blogging as life is speeding up we will only do monthly posts. Hopefully can keep them up....you are soon 4 years old...going to school and so much excitment to prepare you for. IN the last months you had quite happily given up the dummy and you are now almost dry...you have pull ups but go happily to toilet and enjoy wearing pants home and nursery. I am proud as you had surprised me. It all happened before Easter when I had planned to do all this things....with you. So you were rewarded by getting "hot dog" your first white puppy...(not a real one but it does walk and makes noises)...I love how your first thought on bringing it home was TO FEED THE DOG, you tried feed him, carrots, cucumber and sausage. You ARE TRULY SHOWING SIGNS OF A VERY VERY CARING BOY. WE ADORE AND LOVE YOU. you also love speaking french....love saying the colours and singing the BONJOUR song.

BIG BEAUTIFUL HELPFUL BOY

Ohh the years and experience I always expected has arrived. We reached the nights that are slept through (most of the time) the stage of conversations and questions and debates and amazing curiousity. I am loving Reuben at this stage. This picture has been taken (and the one below)during the morning. Reuben always wakes very happy and then asks to go downstairs with Blue Teddy and Dinosaur in toe...they then settle on the sofa and watch TV. Somewhere in between they start the breakfast and the feeding Zac routine (meanwhile I get to stay in bed ...THANKS TO MY AMAZING HUSBAND) he then off course chatters in the kitchen and entertains his brother :))and daddy.
Most mornings I come down he is eager to make me a coffee and toast. It goes something like this: Mummy you want a coffee? Blue, pink? And well that you should know its the capsules he uses in our Nespresso. THen proceeds no matter what I say in making me a coffee and toast. Then we shall all chatter and talk and such in the living room. He loves his routines. here he is washing up and drying up...just like mummy.

REuben loves amusing his brother. I am forever thankful to God that these boys are so good to each other. Zac copies Reuben and R loves it. He is trying to tecah him some strange stuff...like his new way of smiling:))) with tightly closed EYES:))

He really is that funny and lovely and amazingly good brother. And since no Dummy he is even more grown up it seems.

Don;t know where he has seen this...but he is entertaining a poorley brother at the table with playing with some colourful cups.:)))

I LOVE YOU MUMMY, DADDY, ZACKY, GRANNY

A mum that lets her son get away with this and a lot more:))) Still, Reuben has been an absolute angel...I am loving what I see and feel. He comes up with the sweetest things. The other morning he laid in bed with me poking my eyes, nose and such....and saying sweet little nothings....ahhhh

Every evening when we go to bed...one of us takes him to bed...and we have a giant cuddle after which and just before he shuts his eyes for sleep he says: I love you mummy, daddy, Zacky and now off course granny too as she is in the house too. I love how he wants to love us all....bless.

Reuben has had many playdates lately. HIs bestest train friend is Nicholas and its lovely to see them get on so well. not only NIcholas is the best influence ever he is also a very well behaved boy.

It is lovely when all boys play together....these younger ones love the older boys but we have to keep them away. Reuben is so very good with Zac...when Zac takes a train or a track away Reuben now knows to distract Zac by exciting him into something else which goes like this: "Zacky look la la la lala la la" then quick exit and take back what Zacky took away. Occasionally there is a bit of a crisis but he just comes running to be and says: "Mummy Zacky need to be on the sofa...with toys"....well today they were all happy...and we were happy as mums.

Yap no TV in the bedroom but we sure do have a TV in the kitchen...boys love love love watching a story or two while playing....eating or just while I cook or prepare stuff. here they are doing crafts.
