Is this not the most adorable photoes ever?! Well, we had successfully survived half term...without much planning. As you can tell MAMA and REBEKA came to visit...and stayed for a total of 10 days. (probably the shortest ever holiday). It was such a wonderful time. The first two days the kids were glued to them then slowly they realised mummy (me) had such a woderful time so started clinging on to me:( ! so reassuring they do miss me ....
There were loads of kisses and cuddles with aunty Rebeka and playing MARIO and Wii and all. Both Rebeka and MAMA have noticed the massive change and improvement in Reuben....how much more confident, chatty and independent he is. I have to say I am massivley proud of him...for mastering English, Hungarian (even I barely ever get the chance to teach him) and French as well. He runs to school and on the way waves and calls out to kids and while many just shy away and seem to be speachless my son is chattering away to them. Confidence may live LONG!. I am also proud because he is understanding his brother and his brother's needs often giving things easily up for his brother;s sake. He shares and seems to have accepted Zackie really well. He argues things ever so well, one day I was telling him he is not allowed fizzy drinks or Coke (yes coke) in the afternoon and dark, he smiled at me and said "but mumy, Coke is dark so its ok to drink it in the dark" there...my little clever button.
Language?!:) What language? Love language, who cares that these two cant speak coherently each others's language...Reuben is a great actor and so is my mum and they were getting along like a house on fire?! I was comforted each time my son snuggled up to MAMA to tell her something (to which mum always smiled and said ok ok) then watching them get up to no good (like steeling some sweets after the dinner) or staying up that 5 more minutes.....ahhhhh
Finally, what can I say?! I am continuously amazed at Reuben's developments...one of which is he seems to be great at blending (which is spelling letters into words) and he is continuously bringing home stickers for his numbers (which must admit he is very good at) and for tidy up (wish he was doing it at home) and anything and everything! He seems to know all his letters really well....and loves drawing, colouring and creating things.
He loved MAMA doing some sewing on the machine and was amazed to see mama created a few things for mumy a few dresses, skirts, tops and well just mending things. Here he is having a go too...enjoying it so much he was....
Admiring his hard work...but he was rather sad cause they were not perfect ....and he has not managed to finish colouring the snake yet he got so tired. We never push Reuben, we are very laid back parents. We make a point of presenting him with options and allowing him to think, choose and enjoy what he does. Many people find us hard work (as we don;t particularly like super nany or baby whisperer and such books and programmes) we do not follow strickt routines I believe kids are very very unique and therefore time should be spent knowing our children not reading people;s therories and robotised thinking. With Reuben I have only one massive failure that is that I have not had the confidence to boo all the crap was shoved into my way and follow my instincts and do what deep down I knew was right for us. But I am glad I had realised that no ammount of reading, preparing or teaching will ever make me the mum I am because it is naturally already there....and for my child I am the best mum and he is the best possible child I can ask for....him and Zackie both. I have learnt to accept that we are different and we do things differently and thats fine.Anyway, now back to being back into full swing of schooling....its all very sad...MAMA AND REBEKA have gone....we are back at school, playgroups and such...I hope Easter Holidays come quick and we can go away as a family and have a fab time until then some of the old and usual will happen and hopefully will have a glimmer of spring....been far to dark and cold. I am gona mention we had Zackie;s bday celebrations but pics will be in another post!
