Poo 2!

The fascination with poo!

January 27th, 2017

Joshua loves toilet humour at the moment.. and this is not a totally new thing, he’s enjoyed laughing about poo for a couple of months now.

In the mornings he likes to have his poo-ridge for breakfast. Oscar is like ‘eurgh, no it’s not poo-ridge, it’s porridge!’ in disgust.

Every now and then he just says that his food is poo.. oh that chocolate sandwich, ‘that’s not chocolate it’s poo;’ it tastes like poo ‘I like poo’ he says. Often he then does say, ‘oh no, I don’t like poo, you can’t eat poo.’ Which we all agree with.

Sometimes we play a game where we go to the shops and mummy buys some poo but I don’t realise until it’s in my hand, or I smell it and then it’s hilarious! Sometimes I give him poo at the shop and sometimes I throw it at him- haha!

And to conclude, this fascination may have come from mummy, shouting ‘watch out for the poo!’ every time we walk to the car 😒 yuk!

Sibling love ❤️

One of my favourite things about being a mummy is watching my children grow and learning about them. Oscar had his first opticians appointment this week. He’s seen me go a few times and was happy to go. When we got there he seemed excited and so grown up; he followed the instructions well and we kept on having little reassuring smiles at each other. When the test was over and the optician was writing up the results Joshua went over to him, gave him a stroke on his leg and asked him if he was alright or said well done. It was so lovely and melts my heart. I’m super proud of them both and the people that they are xxx

Joshua and Mummy on the train

Joshua and Mummy Day

June 27th, 2016

So, Joshua and I have spent the day together today, and Oscar and Daddy have too. We’ve had a lovely time together. Joshua has been very affectionate with kisses and cuddles and we’ve had a few hilarious moments.. He’s missed Oscar and Daddy though. Here are some of those moments…

On the train there was a man blowing his nose and laughing to himself and Joshua looks at him and says, ‘what’s that?!’ a good few times. Mummy replies, ‘oh he’s just blowing his nose, etc..’ He loves that question at the moment.

At another point on the train he takes a big sniff and declares ‘poo! I can smell poo.’ I was quite impressed. It was the cow manure in the fields. Clever boy.

Now we’re at home and the boy next door but one makes unusual noises (he’s sen) and so Joshua mimics him back like they’re having their own conversation. Haha! 😳

Oscar and Joshua April 16

Russell’s April 2016

April 29th, 2016

I haven’t written a blog/posted photos in quite a while so thought I’d do a little overview…

April already wow wee .. Just trying to organise my 30th birthday party and starting to become a bit panicked because we’re heading towards May! We’ve had plenty of scarlet fever, coughs, colds and chicken pox so far this year and our biggest decision/prayer point at the moment is whether to home school Oscar for a couple of years!? To be decided…

Oscar’s adventures recently

  • still loving climbing and gymnastic activities.
  • improving lots on his computer games and iPad (although that’s limited by mummy to an hour a day unless we’re on a long car journey/need it as our back up.)
  • getting changed by himself and often getting ready by the door before Mummy and Daddy!
  • chatting lots and asking lots of why questions-We both love seeing how he is learning and working things out.

Joshua’s adventures recently

  • becoming cheeky and funny. He’s understanding different social clues, e.g. That if he does something funny, we laugh and he repeats.
  • loves climbing, running and playing with balls still.
  • starting to become independent with his play i.e having his own stories and what seems like more purpose to his actions (although children have purpose from babies.)
  • putting 2/3 words together to make a sentence and asking ‘what’s that?!’ lots.

Wales vs Whales

November 4th, 2015

We had a good chat with Oscar on our late night far drive home (I think he was avoiding sleep!) all about where Pops and GG live.

Matthew mentioned that it was strange that we’d left Wales and it was still misty (haha we don’t think Wales has the best weather) which confused Oscar a little. So, we explained to him that Pops and GG live in a place called Wales and not in a whale 🐋 like a big fish.

Oscar explained that we’d be very sad if Pops and GG were gone in a whale and that they actually just lived in a place called Wales! What a clever sausage 🌭

Oscar and Joshua: dressing up!

October 3rd, 2015

Our kids have style 😉 Oscar has always liked wearing ‘costumes’ or modifying his own. Joshua enjoys doing it as well now. Here are a few photographs of them in some unusual attire! P.s. I also like dressing up. Read the rest of this entry »

New milestones

September 7th, 2015

Joshua is very nearly 15months old! I’ve noticed two new activities that he’s just starting to be interested in-

  1. Playing pretend play with teddies, plastic toys; walking them and chatting.
  2. Being interested in books; looking through the pictures and chatting about them.

I love observing the play! X
