end of half term - vakacio vege

Sad to say and equally pleased half term is over and after a busy busy time we had decided today to just go and enjoy a nice warm day in Kent Garden....to Reuben's request. Scotney Castle here we come....and wow we did have an amazing day!!!

Reuben has not only now succesfully been dry and speaking amazigly and taking interest in languages and the wider world now he has an interest in flowers and insects of all kinds. He loves knowing flower and plant and tree's names and really is such a wonderful chatter box....a joy to be around him and with him. Here he spotted a beautiful ant:))) Look mummy its an ant and its so lovely:))) ok then shall we snack it?:))) remains the same old adventurer:)))

One of the highlights of today! Mivel a vakacionak lassan vege hat ugy dontottunk a mai szep meleg napot kint toltjuk a termeszetben Reuben keresere....szuper nap volt es elmenyben gazdag...Nem tudtam betelni nagy fiam szotara es erdeklodes es kerdezgeteseivel...nem a tevet bamultuk hanem elveztuk a termeszetett. Mindent tudni akar angolul, franciaul es magyarul es persze nem csak a nagy dolgok a kis dolgok mint peldaul a hangya meg a szinek es persze a lovacskak is szoba kerultek.

During the holidays (half term) Reuben has seen a lot of his best friend Alfie Booker and we had enjoyed a day at Kent Life Museum and also time at Monkey Bizz, at Kidz Zone and swimming with Pearl and Honor (from nursery)...we ran into friends from nursery but really tried to enjoy family time and learning new things enjoying the amazingly good weather. this was taken at the free tractor ride...:))

Seeing the little lambs and feeding them was just so therapeutical....even Zac loved it. It was before Easter so took time to explain to Reuben Easter and Spring time is NEW LIFE and babies....I think he understood...if not I did...have time to thing a bit more about just how special this time is.

Great great time spent with cousins from Lincoln...Ana, Peter and Simon whom he always talks about. They has also visited together Shorne Country Park and built train tracks and ran around and laughed loads...we realised just how much family means to him and how much he missed out on having them closer. Loves his cousins and rightly so as they have also spoilt him:))

I just had to post this photo...Anna Banana missed so much...he even asked for her this morning:))but they had left Sunday pm. XXX TO ANNA who I think will see this one

OUr church was fantastic first to do an amazing Palm Sunday parade which culminated with bringing the donkeys in the church garden and letting them be played with....but also Maundy Thursday we had a Peasach Meal and more play in the garden and Friday before Easter we had crafts at church which were totally enjoyed by my boys so plenty to be busy with.

As we had lovley weather we also did a lot of biking and enjoying icecreams and such. One of the beauties of living near the highstreet 2 mins away from it is that we can just pop to the highstreet and get what we need, pop into shops, Cathedral, Castle grounds, two lovely parks one on the river one on top of the hill basically we could not be in a better place...and we are taking full advantage of it as we should.

And to top up the lovley things that happened to and with us WE HAD BAPTISED ZAC and so we had a lovley time Easter Sunday ....surrounded with family and friends we had celebrated Zac;s life and new life ....and off course we loved seeing Reuben being amazingly good and truley supporting his brother. He stood at the fountin with us and after Zac's Baptism he said outloud "is it my turn now"? Its lovely to see he is taking an interest in church...he often asks about Jesus, God and Mary, Joseph and the baby...the donkey and such. I am loving this stage so much. I want to be talking to him all day about everything because he is a spongebob right now...everything we say just remains in his little brain. I love you Reuben so very much....you are my shining STAR!

A moment of bliss...among the brothers....

Hi there,

Its been a long while I know but time seems to just fly bye with two...and often by the time I get to think of the things I would write ....I fall asleep and just can;t wake so will be short.

Reuben has had huge milestones....

- no longer do we have a dummy

- no longer do we have nappy

- he is now swimming like a fish and does not only one kind of swimming

- his speach is coming along so well we are now having to be very very careful what we let him hear us say ....

- his French is the NEW BEST THING along with his "ungarian" (means hungarian)

-he has a new best friend Alfie Booker

- he is most often mentioning relatives in Romania, Slovakia and UK

- he is more aware of times of day, week and particularly looking forward to Easter and Summer time when his 4th big birthday will take place

- new interests are: golf (don;t ask), Tv - ben 10, Spiderman, Batman, Scooby Doo, Garfield, Tom and Jerry....and off course Dinos...., french and "ungarian"....colouring, reading....well just about everything but in not sooo big slices....

We have now heard and as from September Reuben has been accepted to a local school we had put down as first option and he has already been to take his paperwork and told the receptionist "this is my big boy school" who off course loved chattering to him.

We are entering two weeks of bliss starting this weekend...and actually due to Easter and Royal Wedding we now have nearly 4 weeks of holidays....so plenty to get busy with....wish us all the best...lets hope will be good and enjoyable.
