Where the hell have you been !

Sorry, I am getting so bad at this blogging lark. It has been a busy month, the boys now go to nursery for two full days and two mornings ! The house seems very quiet without them :-(

There are so many little things the boys are doing now. The main one being is that they are getting on so well together. They love each others company and really care for one another. Today, Harry was with me in the kitchen, Ben was next door in the lounge and Ben let out a loud scream, before I had even started to move Harry was racing into the lounge with a cry of 'Wazza matter Ben' - it was lovely to see him so concerned for little Ben. As it turned out it was a cry of frustration because he couldn't reach his latest story book. Ben has suddenly developed a love of books and will sit still for ages if you read to him, it is excellent. I am so pleased that they both have such an interest in books, I hope it continues.

Both of them have such a good sense of humour and are funny even when they don't know it. Yesterday whilst I was wiping Harrys face clean after lunch, he smeared his sticky / greasy fingers down my shirt. I had a bit of a sense of humour failure over this and said crossly 'Well thank you very much Harry'

Harry looked at me with a huge smile on his face and said 'You're welcome Daddy'

How can you stay angry when they come out with things like that !

The other morning I was in the boys bedroom, getting them up after their lunch time nap, I was changing Bens nappy and Harry was stood in his cot, watching us. During the nappy removal stage, Harry said'Oh Ben that's disgusting!' - oh boy I thought I was going to die laughing, it was so funny.

Both Harry & Ben have got a grasp of 'I love you' and they both say it now without prompting to Carol & I. It is hard to explain to someone who hasn't got children of their own, how incredibly wonderful it is when your child looks at you with such love in their eyes and says this to you. It really makes your day.

Well as I have been a bit lax with the photo taking I better post some photos, lets face it dear reader, you don't really come here to read my rantings, you just want to see photos of the boys :-)

There is nothing better than a large box to play with:

Ben



Harry



& Mummy !




We bought the boys some new toddler seats to attach to our dining room chairs, the boys liked them a lot and spent the whole morning playing with them. In this photo they have made a 'bus' and are sat engrossed in their books and TV, although I suspect looking at the photo 'Boogie Beebies' is winning !
