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!

The little man is getting bigger and bigger all the time now!  He is growing very well and doesn’t have any problems with eating at all. He would eat non-stop if he could though! 😉

He now has two teeth come through, the second making an appearance on the 2nd March, and they are both the ones on the bottom at the front. They are quite big now and very sharp so you don’t want him to bite you!

He is walking aided really well now, and seems to prefer walking around more than anything else.  It isn’t as bad now as before as he has growing that little bit taller, so its not as back-breaking as it was to start with. It won’t be long before he lets go and toddles off on his own.  Because he is taller and can stand up now, his walker is getting a bit small, so it won’t be long before that will be put away. He has already broken the vent in the kick board in the kitchen by ramming into it though. tut!

His favourite shows on TV are Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom and Peppa Pig. Probably because Ben watches them all the time! You can put the Ben and Holly theme music on at any point and Aaron will immediately stop and turn around to face where the music is coming from. Even if he is in a fit of tears, the music will cause him to stop and be quiet! lol  Kelly has some episodes on her phone for the car, just in case! He also likes the two bedtime songs that are played on Nick Junior just before 7pm.

Sleeping -wise, he has been on and off a lot recently. Teething hasn’t helped really but there has been several times when he has caused us to have hardly any sleep. Being in a room with Ben doesn’t help though, as Ben is a nightmare sleeper, so when he makes a noise, it wakes Aaron up. Ben is suffering from night terrors at the moment which means he is waking up lots crying and shouting, which obviously keeps Aaron awake as well.  Hopefully they will grow out of it soon as we are all desperate for a good night’s sleep!

While we were up in Weymouth recently staying with Kelly’s family, we took Aaron to the beach for the first time. He loved it playing in the sand and even tried to eat it!! We bought him a little bucket and spade which he enjoyed playing with, and was digging out the sand with his spade. He seemed to enjoy it loads.  Hopefully the weather will stay nice this year and we will be able to go a bit more often than the past few years!

He has had several colds this year (we all have actually), but is OK at the moment though a tad snotty still!  Not sure how he is getting them all the time but it coincides with Ben starting School, so we think he has been bringing all the germs back with him.  Aaron has had a couple of heat rashes though. The first time we thought it was Chicken Pox (it was going around the pre-school) but it turned out it wasn’t with the doctor saying it was just a virus. In a way we were hoping it was Chicken Pox as it is a lot better to get it out of the way now than when he is older.
