The gherkin turns three in less than three months. Little pickle turns one in just three weeks. Time goes by so quickly! They are becoming little boys, not so much my babies (but they'll still always be my babies).
The gherkin is telling some great stories, having some fantastic conversations. He is empathic - he gets sad watching sad parts of movies (like in toy story) or get worried for characters in stories, he is very concerned if we are out and about and he hear another child crying. He is imaginative - he imagines that there are little people in the shower sliding down the inside wall of the bath (water droplets), he plays shops (three sandpies in a sandpie shop!), and is a brilliant dancer and "free-range" musician. He asks me to sing the cuddle song ('It's so nice to have a cuddle with someone that you love') and gives me the biggest koala cuddles with his legs wrapped all around.
Little pickle is action man. He is walking (no, sprinting!), and is using words - hello, bye-bye, ta, dadda, bath. He knows what he likes, he's sure of himself. And confident! He has no fear, climbing up on windowsills, crawling up stairs, without hesitation. He loves his big brother. He follows him around, laughs at his funny faces and dancing.
Our home is filled with joy... it's overflowing! We are truly blessed.
Take care xo
