Aaron's Blog

Ten days after Ben started out with Chicken Pox, Aaron started coming out in a few little spots too!  We were hoping he was going to avoid it and maybe be immune, but on the other hand we are glad he caught it and it is now over with.

Poor Aaron was absolutely pickled!  Head to toe, in his ears, mouth, nose as well as really badly in his nappy region.  He was quite poorly with it too, had a very high temperature and generally very sleepy and not himself.  Aaron was happiest in the bath, which was nice and cool and I put porridge oats in the water (in a sock) which helped with the itching.  We also used the vira soothe gel that we had for Ben.  Luckily Aaron didn’t scratch too much and his spots cleared quite nicely, though he still has a few that haven’t quite faded yet.

The best part about Aaron having Chicken Pox, we encouraged him to start using the potty and he did really well!

On 25th April we had some new bunk beds delivered and put together for the boys.  It was because Ben was getting quite big for his Thomas bed and bunk beds took up less space in the bedroom.  The delivery guy put them together as well, so saved us a job, and we are very pleased with them.  Needless to say, the boys love them!!

The boys 1st bunk beds

Here are the boys dancing to ‘Gentleman’ and ‘Gangnam Style’ by Psy. 😉

A couple of weeks ago, both boys fell out of their beds, one after each other within about 30 minutes! They had both been doing so well, but I have no idea why they both fell out of bed the same night. I can only assume that they had a busy day and their minds were still active so they were rolling about a lot! It was quite funny actually, as they must have rolled out of bed and not woken up at all as each time we went up, they were both fast asleep on the floor on the duvet we had put between the beds. I bet they didn’t even wake up when they rolled out! 😉 Touch wood, they haven’t fallen out of bed since and this was about a month ago now! 😉

Aaron is getting really good at talking now and can say lots of words, but the cutest was when he called Ben ‘Beb’.  He was doing this constantly for a couple of weeks a few weeks ago and it was so cute hearing him call for Beb! 😉  Recently he has learnt to say Ben which is great, but is not quite as cute! 😉

He has also started saying ‘disgusting’ now which is really funny as well as it comes out more as ‘gusting’, and he can say all the basic words at his age such as ‘bed’, ‘cat’, doggy’, ‘horsey’, ‘poo’ (lol), ‘ball’ and he can say ‘copter’ for helicopter and ‘t’ for TV and much more.  It is so cute listening to him speak and I must try and get him on film speaking a bit more as would be great to look back on in a few years.
