Let It Snow

Been a bit lazy with the camera lately - so no pictures today, just words. So why is this blog called let it snow? Have we not all had enough of the cold weather. Well no, yesterday I finally managed to get the two boys a proper sledge each. I saw them at a good price and just thought what the hell, lets get them and put them in the garage for next year. Otherwise a year will pass, it will snow again and I will be left thumbling around trying to buy a sledge again. So next winter we are all prepared - no more baby bath sledging!

So whats news with the boys. Well to start with I have said all along that it will be a sad but happy day when the boys can actually beat their old man at something (especially a sport). Well Brandon has knocked me off top spot for something already. It is something I pride myself on and have become very skilled at over the years. There are very few people that have come close to challenging me, but Brandon just wipes the floor with me and then sits there chuckling to rub it in. So what is it I hear you ask? Well to put it bluntly..............passing wind!!! The little guy is a genius, I have relinquished the crown. He sits at the dinner table every night and farts like you would believe. Joshua sits there saying "Brandon! Windy Poos" and Brandon just laughs......

Brandon is also sleeping extremely well now and has settled into his new room amazingly. He now puts himself to sleep rather than one of us sitting with him till he nods off, and also he has started to entertain himself in the morning rather than just waking and screaming for attention. He sits there having a natter or playing with his teddies and is quite content.

Still on the subject of Brandon - he gave us a little fright yesterday. At the stage Joshua is at we have got a little lazy with stair gates because he is very competent on the stairs. But clearly Brandon is getting very mobile now and likes exploring his environment. Well yesterday the gate was left open and we turned our backs for 5 seconds. Next thing you know the little guy was gone in a flash and before we know it he was climbing over the top step onto the 1st floor all on his own. Touch wood he didn't fall this time, but it has been a good wake up call that stair gates must be closed at all times at the moment.
