Hi! We had an interesting year already but Reuben has taken it all in his stride. He is happily back in nursery and enjoying his routine...(we do too). Tonight he said bye bye to daddy in his farm animals pjs and has been a lovely help to mummy as daddy sadly is in hospital.
"Daddy is poorley and we need your help" this is what R had to say to granny in the phone when we rang to tell her the news. Granny won;t be coming down to stay but she will visit but mama from Romania is arriving tomorrow to give us some support while J is healing. When we visited daddy today after his operation Reuben went into the shop and decdied he needed a Drs bag with various tools as he was needing to be a dr....I hope he will become one although I can see him more into something more adventurous and more physical.
His Godfather Matt has also visited us which indeed was lovely. Matt and Reuben seemed to have hit it off once again. He was only able to stay for the day but it had a lasting impression on Reuben especially when R watched his Godfather's wonderful and scary skating.
R seemed to have really taken likeing to crafts and especially sticking and stapleing and off course painting his nails....:)))we made a kind a crown (should have been a Christmas time activity ...) and he wore it very proudly.
Reuben decided to do his own facepainting....with markers....so we covered up like this the terrible art...:))) was supposed to be a bunny rabbit but I am no good at these things so....also a ladybird in making on his hand...
MOre art....with Zac in toe...:) Always amazez me how Zac and Reuben want to do same things. Reuben does not mind most often Zac infact we have recently noticed that Reuben is copying us and trying to chatter to Zac in baby language and such...its cute and so sweet.
So far so good he has been a bright little monkey...enjoying so much his time at home and at nursery. He has been asking to go to Thomas Land...and also to the farm to see animals and he alsohas been telling me more and more in more and more words about his dreams....his life at nursery and his aspirations. I am loving out convesations and lovng to see his interests and how he recognises people. He comes out with amazing and lovely things to say, loves saying Sorry, thank you, please and all used really well and approprietly. HE is eager to make me coffee in the morning (which I love and scuff down in an instant) he also loves meeting u with best friends Georgia, Nicholas, Livy, Zoli and nursery friends. Life is good I shall say for now. I feel blessed and I am loving every minute with my beautiful boy.
Swimming away swimming away....its been so good and so special....now we have Charlie as a teacher and Reuben loves Charlie. IN fact today Reuben requested and demanded Charlie who was only too happy to jump in the water with our swim boy!!
He is soooooooo eager and loves the water. Charlie says Reuben is fanastic....I am so pleased these are the lessons he loves....:)
Learning how to blow in the water:)) NOt sure he got it but he was willing to try:)
Everyone has the smiles...:)) Granny Smith and daddy were chatting next R climbed on to chat followed by Zac....so I managed to capture the moment:) Zac does look like daddy just look at the shape of his face....and the grin....:))
Happy Bday to Henry Charles who is our neighbour and very much Zacky's friend. He has been so lovely....and the bday was fantastic! 
When the boys are not in nursery or out this is what happens a lot....making music and messing up the living room....this picture is a window into the future not long before my boys play like this together....
Reuben often these last few days has falen asleep on the grandad chair which is in his room. This is a nice rocking chair that we love and has a special special touch to it....I took this photo one evening....after I put Zac down as I turned in to read Reuben a story he was fast asleep....he was so peaceful and happy I had tears in my eyes. My big boy is a lovely lovely boy who is getting amazingly self sufficient and grown up. I love you baby so much.
A long and a very frustrating week. Zac has had conjunctivitis and Reuben has resisted going to nursery ...there was one very late night when daddy was working til 3am and I was sooo tired but then we somehow managed to pick up....and really enjoyed the rest of the week and so did Reuben. We had seen some friends during the week and was a treat for Reuben to have Georgia around on Friday ....his girlfriend as he calls her. With now swimming on Saturdays our days are going very fast.....and tomorrow is Sunday already church then taking granny Smith back home. We had found out we have Romanian-Hungarian neighbours so we are gona try and meet them tomorrow afternoon. Then there is another week....God willing we will be updateing once we get to the computer.
