SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER TIME!

 Its end of June and we had only recently managed to get rid of jackets and warm clothes. Reuben has been very concerned with understanding how we its summer and yet its not hot?! He also got into calling yesterday and tomorrow both "the other day" as he was getting a little confused with dates, days etc. thanks to Lego we now have a calendar that is helping us out as for the weather we can only hope for summer:)
 Bath time has been always the time of massive mischief especially when you have one little brother who is adoring every one of your naughty faces and moves...right now these two are just sooo BEST FRIENDS and Reuben loves the fact that his brother would execute with massive pride every possible mischief Reuben delegates to him.
 We had visited a farm for the first time ever for strawberry picking. Downingburry farm was brilliant for our family day out....not only we ate sooo much strawberries we also got to play in the fields and enjoy getting acquainted with the hay.
 I recently really started to appreciate every little happy moment with my boys. Now I am working and often away from them I get to understand a little bit more how precious every little moment is....
 My Reuben has never been one to sit back and dream.....he dreams and executes:) I love his sense of adventure and that of impulse...I know so well as I was just the same once. I hope Reuben you will always have the courage to jump to fly and to reach all the things you want...in life.
 The experience of picking strawberries was one that we wont forget....although we had bought strawberries since we always remember picking them and seeing how they grow...we also have some in the garden that are getting pink and hopefully soon will be picking them...
 After school often the boys play out in the garden....this is the latest kind of fun...that they came up with....although I think granny had something to do with it.
 This month also saw us celebrating FATHER;s day. Reuben has requested his daddy to spend father's day with him going to London to the Natural History Museum. Returning from their day trip Reuben told me he had a ROCKING DAY! - this meaning he had the bestest possible day.
 It did help that daddy has invited Nicholas, Reuben;s best friend and his dad Alex on the day trip to London.....so this was indeed a rocking day.
 Daddy was ever so happy with Reuben's beautiful hand crafted and coloured tie. We both appreciate Reuben's brilliant creativeness he does love making things and colouring and drawing has been coming along rather lovingly.
 Here is Reuben with his friend Cheyne whom he has seen a bit more recently. Its lovely to see that he has such affection towards his friends.
 Running and winning! go go Reuben!
 We also did our first ever assault course with our friend Cheyne. Reuben loved this experience.
 Soon his Year one will finish and will be well celebrated with his 6th bday. This lovely friendship has started about 6 years ago when these two have met (through their mums). Both of these boys are nearly 6 years old...really good friends and I am only delighted about that.
 School has been really good for Reuben, his maths is really good so is his Science....and his literacy has massively improved. I cant say I agree with the systems of education here in Uk....but that's another matter. He has done us proud and I am so happy he not even 6years old now is taking it all in his strive.
 And finally, my real pride and joy....Reuben has been very inquisitive about the matters of God and I am soo happy that he understood what believing means and having faith...and I am delighted.
soon to be 6 yrs old....enjoying the long summer days and restful colder evenings and nights! Its been a busy summer looking forward to finish school and rest and enjoy the rest of the summer before YR 2 commences.
