I am really annoyed that I didn't keep it up, even with the odd post here and there. I did set myself too huge a target by blogging about every single day!
When it was just the 2 little ones, it was hard but manageable and I was certainly more organised then, than I am now. Oscar came along and Ellis started school and suddenly I'm all over the place. I suppose that is one thing that I want to try and improve on this year, and that's to become more organised.
Rob is working a new contract that only allows him to work a certain amount of hours in a 4 week period, so the plan is for him to get the hours in early and then take a day off. We can use the time to either do something nice together, as all 3 babas will be at school, or get some chores done that are really difficult when you have 3 little uns, like sort the garage out.
We have been in this current house for 3 1/2 years now and we have accumulated a ton of stuff in that time. I really need to declutter and sort the rest of it out. I know that will make me feel so much better.
The boys are all doing well, and growing very fast! Oscar is the fastest grower by far and isn't that far behind Leo. He weighs 5lb less than Leo and is in age 3-4 clothes already. His feet are a size 9! He has reached that age where he wants to do everything himself but isn't quite old enough to do it yet. He is the only one of the 3 to throw major tantrums, which usually I can just smirk at him and walk away but a lot of the time he properly kicks off and I have to try and calm him, which never works but I feel I must try or he might hurt himself, or me. Other than that, he is lush. He loves to clean and tidy up, loves watching Bubble Guppies and playing on the iPad. He tries so hard to keep up with his older brothers which is cute but I wish he would wait.
Oscar sleeps in a converted cot bed but due to his size, and weight I think he could do with a proper single bed now. He is in the very small box room though so it won't leave room for much else. He is also out of nappies and has been for a while now. He has been so amazing! He is even dry at night and wearing pants, not pull ups! I actually, still now, can't believe how well he has done with it all. We had a couple of issues with going to poo on the loo for a bit but other than that, he went straight to the toilet, hasn't had any accidents in his clothes, asks to go to the loo, and can hold it when I ask him too. Fab!
He started pre-school in September, doing 2 mornings a week at the same place Leo went to. I love it there, especially the staff and to start with Oscar settled in well. Unfortunately we had a lot of illness in the months running up to Christmas so he missed a few sessions and since going back, hasn't enjoyed it that much.
His speech is no where near as good as the other 2 at the same age and his knowledge of stuff like numbers, colours, shapes etc is way behind, but I'm not bothered, he will get there. He does actually pick things up quite quickly if given the opportunity.
See this blog entry was supposed to be a quick hello, and now look at it!
I'll try and come back to do an update on the rest of the family soon.
