You know, you get to a point, and you look back and you think what thing would you change, or what do you regret not doing and one thing that is high on my list is this blog.
I used to find it therapeutic and enjoyed keeping a log of our daily journey. The days go so fast and I forget what I did yesterday, let alone what I did when Leo was 1.
Things are moving fast here. We are still in the same rental house, which Rob still doesn't like, and I just make do as it is so local to the school and close to shops etc.
Oscar is starting school this September! Can you believe it!? I certainly can't, and when asked about it, I cry all the time! I haven't come to terms with it at all. I want another baby, and I want my babies to not grow up so fast. Of course I want them to grow up. That would be silly to try and keep them as babies forever, but I'm not ready for the next steps yet. I certainly better get ready as they will be here whether I like it or not!
Small update on each then...
...Oscar has just turned 4 (in March) and is a huge boy! He is wearing size 11 shoes which is what Leo wore when he started school! He is in age 6 clothes, loves hats, glasses and loves to dance. He started going to dance class this week and loves it!
He goes to forest school every Sunday with his brothers and is really getting into it.
His favourite meal at the moment is pasta, cheese, pepperami and garlic bread.
He hasn't lost any teeth yet, loves bedtime stories, playing on the iPad, going on the trampoline and snuggles with Mummy. He asks for his Daddy a lot and sits on him as soon as he is home from work.
He is obsessed with numbers, like the other 2, but hasn't really grasped letter sounds as well. He has plenty of time. He really enjoys going to preschool and has a ton of friends! All the Mums like him too and he gets a lot of compliments. He is very kind, caring and thoughtful.
I will miss him when he starts school. We love our days together.
Leo, turned 6 very recently (May). I really feel like I've missed a year or 2 with him. He has suddenly shot up in size and is now my Lanky Leo and not Little Leo.
Leo is very tall and slim and isn't very in control of his limbs. Saying that, he is a great tree climber and his absolute love is hunting for Mini Beasts. He does it every single day and constantly has mud under and around his nails, no matter how much I scrub.
His feet are a size 1 although I think probably nearer 2 now. He goes through school uniform at an alarming rate because he is always climbing trees and going through bushes and getting covered in mud!
He really is a timid and gentle boy. He has calmed down from his younger years and much easier to look after now.
He has the worst diet out of all 3 as he doesn't eat any vegetables! He pretty much lives on cheese spread sandwiches, cheese strings, yogurt, crisps, chicken nuggets, chips and pasta.
He used to be terrified of dogs but seems to have grown out of that very recently. He is great at swimming too, is an animal lover and likes plane spotting :)
He loves being outside and out of the 3 is more like me in his ways. He is a little crazy :)
He sleeps quite well but out of the 3 wakes up the most. He has bad dreams and struggles with growing pains in the backs of his knees. It gets really bad sometimes.
He had his ears fixed in July last year but had ear infections until the November, but since then he has been fine and his behaviour seemed to change over night! Having his ears fixed really made a huge difference for him.
He had sports day at school today and Rob and I were both really surprised and pleased at how well he did. He was confident and happy and joined in with everything and knew what he had to do. He even won his running race! Super proud parents.
He has lots of friends and even a girl friend!
Leo loves scooting, basketball, designing things, building things, trampolining, dominoes, Hexbugs, making videos on my camera, bowling and eating McDonalds food.
He is doing well at school now. He had a difficult start, which I blame mainly on his lack of hearing, and is very good at reading. He does spend a huge amount of time looking at the pictures though, picking fault and making up new stories from what he can see. He has a great imagination.
He is certainly a Mummy's boy and loves snuggles.
I'm really excited to see what the future holds for my gorgeous boy.
Ellis will soon be turning 8 (Aug). 8!!!! When did that happen!?
He has 10 adult teeth, wears size 2 shoes, is about 135cm tall, but I still make him use a booster seat in the car, he loves eating Nandos food, really enjoys his sport, especially rugby and is learning to play the guitar. His guitar teachers say he is really good.
He hates going to his swimming lessons and tries to avoid doing full lengths of the pool :)
He enjoys playing Minecraft and sports games on his iPad Mini, which he got from Santa this year.
He shares a bunk bed with Leo and really struggles to go to sleep most nights. I have noticed that I've had to wake him up that last 2 mornings! Quite a new experience for me. He is always after a LN (late night) where he would love to play a board game or sit with Mummy in bed on his iPad.
He can ride a bike and really enjoys doing it. We just need to get out more for him to get some practice.
He has starting to get fussy about what he is wearing and is doing his hair regularly in a style, and has small arm pit hair growing which we have a laugh about.
He is really starting to blossom and I'm looking forward to watching it continue.
Enjoyed doing the blog tonight. Might have a go at another tomorrow. Won't make any promises though.
