Almost 3.

November 2, 2014 by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He’s almost three.

It’s hard to believe there was ever a time when he wasn’t firmly at the centre of the family.

The boy who lived. (Which was very nearly the title of the post announcing his birth, but I was too scared to tempt fate by using it).

He talks ALL the time now. When he doesn’t know the word he find a way round it.

When he can’t get us to do his bidding he finds a way round us.

Cheeky boy who had a lovely time at playgym.

He’s the cheekiest, sunniest, happiest, most filled with sunlight boy I could imagine.

'Wow, massive rainbow!' Says Bene, the rainbow baby. (Who is nearly 3!)

“Wow! A massive rainbow. I drawed a massive rainbow, mummy!”

Gymnast in the making I think. (The boy, not Fran!)

he has things he likes to do, places he likes to go. He has memories of trips to the library that he can draw on and talk about.

Show me the cars, daddy.

“Twinkle twinkle little star, Bene and Daddy racing car”. He made up his own little song.

Go higher, daddy!!!

He’s a fearless daredevil.

Last week I took him to playgym and my little boy dashed off and didn’t look for me all session.

He loves his nursery – but hates being dropped off.

On his (!!!) my-pad.

He’s a whizz with an ipad, if I let him have it. I rarely do.

It’s so very hard to imagine a time without him.

To be honest, I try very hard not to.

Almost three, baby boy. Almost three.
