Christmas is on it's way and this week we put up our Christmas tree! This is the second year that we have got a real tree. We all love it: Jacob cannot stop taking the baubles off to play with and yesterday discovered the chocolate ones (there are now only two left on the tree!); Finn loves the twinkling lights and Primrose loves to lie under a branch in her chair and grab at it to try and chew (her first two teeth have just come through and she wants to chew everything!). We have no presents under the tree yet though (which is probably a good thing as they'd only get opened early by the boys!).
Quick update on us all:
Finn's writing and artwork has really improved in the last month or so. I have included a photo to show! For a boy who only turned four two months ago I think he is doing really well. He also knows the whole alphabet on sight now as well as most of the phonetic sounds of each letter and can do simple sums that total ten by using his fingers! He has almost finished his first term of swimming lessons and got his report last week saying his water confidence has really increased (he can jump in on is own now which he could never do before). He is also still enjoying his gymbobs and tennis classes. He is also looking less like my little boy these days too as you can see by this photo I took of him two days ago.
Jacob is doing very well with toilet training. It has been much easier than it was with Finn as Jacob has just learnt so quickly simply through observing his big brother (he even prefers to use the toilet like Finn rather than a potty). Jacob's speech is slowly improving these days but he is also in the midst of the terrible twos and driving mummy and daddy mad some days! But he is just so cute he only has to smile and we forgive him (well mummy does anyway!).
Primrose is five months old now and an extremely good and contented baby. She now has her first two teeth at the bottom that came through the other week (although we wouldn't have known about it, there was lots of chewing but no fretfulness/night-waking etc. that a lot of babies have). She is very smiley and just perfect really!
Other things we have been doing since we last posted:
- Finn turned 4 and Jacob turned 2 and we had a joint pirate party!
- Went to London for the day on the train. The boys loved the train and the science museum.
- Went trick or treating at Halloween and a fireworks display.
- Went to meet our new boy cousin Alexander!
- Went to cousin Caleb's 1st birthday party.
