It’s been so long … again

Have to apologise massively again for the lack of posts. My excuse is that I went back to work full time in April and haven’t been able to find the time to post at all.

So since my last post we’ve had Sam’s and Aidan’s birthdays. So in chronological order;

Sam
For Sammy’s birthday we just all went round to mum and dads for a tea party for the boys. Sam loved his hungry caterpillar cake, he’s got a bit of a thing for ‘pillar’ at the moment. Only downside to the day was that he seemed to have a bit of an allergic reaction to the tomatoes. His face went all red and lips puffed up. Poor thing. As an aside, his skin has also been really bad recently and I’m not really sure what else we can do for it.

Sam (or Fam as he calls himself) is really coming into his own at the moment. He won’t shut up! Ever! And he’s just so cheeky. I just went into him because he wasn’t going to sleep. I told him that he needs to go to sleep now. He replies ‘okay’ and as I’m going out the door I hear fake snoring! He’s two for crying out loud! It’s really difficult to be cross with Sam because he’s always quick to make people laugh. He’s a very intelligent child I fear. He’s also a bit violent and I must admit to being a bit worried at times. Like when I caught him hitting his bunny rabbit and when I told him that wasn’t very nice he replied ‘Oh, just put cream on it’ or when he said ‘Dinosaur is sad’ and when we asked why he proceeded to throw dinosaur across the room and said ‘like that’! He’s also coming up with some great phrases like ‘it’s a bit fine’ when he talks about something being okay.

Aidan
Aidan is now a big four year old and reminds me of that regularly. He is still as kind and sensitive as ever. Although I have caught him giving Sam secret punches when he thinks I not looking (at which Sam laughs). He really loves Ben 10 and is regularly found running round aimlessly making ‘pshhh’ noises and hitting his wrist which turns him into swampfire or echo echo! For his birthday he got some ben 10 dressing up clothes which he loved. We also took him to the zoo on his birthday. He loved the giraffes. Sam loved the ‘meer-dogs’ (Sam’s take on wolves after he’d just seen the meercats!).

He’s still loving school. And is getting more and more confident playing with the other children which pleases me know end as I was very worried about him being so quiet and shy. We went to a birthday party recently at a soft play center and he just ran off to play with his friends and joined in all the party games without a backward glance at me. I was really proud of him.
