So... After an extremely long hiatus, I'm back. Not sure how long for! I guess we shall see if I get back into writing here again.
So, it's June 2015, and my boys are now 6 years old (Robert), 4 years old (Christopher) and 2 years old (Daniel). My boys have probably changed an amazing amount since I last posted.
Robert is now in year 1, soon to go into year 2. He is quirky, intelligent, thoughtful, hyperactive, outgoing, caring, and a little bit awkward sometimes ;) he is under assessment for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) and ASD (autistic spectrum disorder -higher functioning). He loves reading, although he will tell you he doesn't ;) and he loves being read to as well. In the last month, we have begun reading the Harry Potter series together, which he loves, and so do I. We have just begun the third book this evening, which is The Prisoner of Azkaban. We are still struggling to maintain his behaviour and his social interactions, but we are muddling on the best we can!
Christopher is in his final term of nursery, having been there since January 2014. He has grown up remarkably since he started there, and has come on leaps and bounds academically. His key worker has referred to him as gifted, and I do hope the school will continue the nursery's good work at keeping him extended! He has his own quirky sense of humour, loves to pull pranks on people, particularly ones that involve jumping out on them and scaring them! He loves board games and top trumps, and numbers too.
Daniel is probably the most different than he was in my last post! He is now 2 years 1 month old, and he is talking oh so well compared to my older two at his age! He can make his wants very well known, and also talks about his environment a lot too. He's very watchful, and picks up concepts I wasn't even aware he'd been exposed to! One example was when he found a (clean!) cotton bud, and went straight to put it in his ear! He must have seen me do it, but I never knew I'd done it around him! Daniel also loves his books. He will bring over about 10 books, one after another, to be read to him, and pile the read ones on the floor by the bookcase ;) he also loves TV and has his favourite programmes, he loves Octonauts (as do his brothers), Mr Tumble, and the Twirlywoos.
As for Jonathan and I, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month. We are not currently planning any more children, although I'm not ruling it out completely for the future! ;) just nothing for the time being, or the next 2.5 years unless I get the implant out sooner! ;) I'll sign off here now, it's late, I'm tired, and will most likely wake up unwillingly at 6am tomorrow morning....
