Here is a nice picture of the boys from June 2014.

All the boys…

Well, Aaron is growing away now! He is constantly hungry and always eating, probably because he never stops! From the minute he gets up in the morning till the second he drops off to sleep, he is on the go (much the same as Ben really).  His speech is coming on really well, and some of the things he comes out with make myself and Kelly giggle and wonder where he has got that from!  At the moment he has a tendency to say ‘What?’ to everything even though he knows he should say ‘pardon’! Now he has started pre-school for 2 hours a week on a Tuesday morning, his speech will probably come on even more.

He is loving going to pre-school and Kelly has said he looks really cute when she has seen him out playing with the other children.  He has had no accidents (toilet wise) and this week he apparently went to the toilet for a wee all on his own! Clever boy!  I think he has made some new friends there, apart from Lucia that he knew already, so he is enjoying it loads. He also likes going to playgroup on a Wednesday with Mummy as they also usually go with Jade and Kian next door, and Emma and Grace down the road.

As mentioned above, Aaron can now take himself to the toilet on his own (apart from wiping his bum!). He has only recently learnt how to balance when sitting on the toilet but he is fine now. He does still need a step to get up on to it though!

He can count to 10 now as well, which is amazing really! We think he has learnt this by listening to Ben and watching the children’s shows on TV. He loves to watch Peppa Pig still (his favourite) but he also really likes Paw Patrol and Bubble Guppies.  He is a big superhero fan as well and had a Superman costume which he wears (will post a picture of him on another post!). He looks great in at and exactly like a little Superhero! 😉

Saying all this, he has been naughty recently! He has started to not listen and do as he is told, then he gets in a strop and throws himself to the floor crying!  Very dramatic indeed! Within minutes though, he is fine again, until the next strop! He is getting a little better going to bed now. He used to be naughty and start singing and talking for ages, but the time doing this is reducing now and he is going off to sleep quicker. Probably worn out a little more due to preschool and playgroup.

He is still very cute though! When he smiles and laughs he is soooo cute! It is a shame he has to grow up. He is a lump now mind! You certainly feel it when you try and carry him very far!

He is also still very into his trains and little cars and gets very mad with Ben if he tries to play with one of them, to the point where he will start shouting at him and pushing him away! Very protective indeed!  He tends to always line his cars and trains up along a wall or a straight line, as if parking them up. He must do this nearly every single day! It is good fun watching him play with them as he does some role-play with it and talks as if he is the car or controlling it. Is very good for his age and I think shows that he is going to be a very clever lad. I have filmed him playing so will add it as a post some point soon.

Tidying up is an issue at the moment, as he makes such a mess tipping everything out (mainly his cars) and then won’t pick them up!  He tends to start playing with them again until we have to tell him off, and then mostly tidy up ourselves! So he has been on the naughty step a few times for this. He had better start learning to tidy up a bit more in the future else there will be trouble! 😉

So that is the latest update about Aaron, so come back soon for some more photos and other updates!

Here is a photo of Aaron that I took a week or so ago during the night when he was fast asleep.  As you can see he was ‘star fished’ out on his bed as it was about 28 degrees in the bedroom, and the photo was taken using my phone when it was pitch black so I was quite impressed how well it came out! 😉

Aaron Sleeping

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!!
