Muscles

Only 5 more sleeps until Joshua is 3 years old.............

So what is new with the boys. Well at the dinner table tonight guess who counted to 3 for the first time all on his own. Yep, little Brandon. And even more impressive, guess who likes homemade chicken biryani and ate it all up. Yep, little Brandon. He is so good with his food and far more adventurous than Joshua, but even I was surprised he ate a huge plateful of biryani. Fortunately I will be at work tomorrow so I will not have to deal with the aftermath in the nappy.

As any parent will know, sometimes it can be a real challenge to get young children to eat vegetables. Well just lately I have started to explain to the boys what the different foods do for you. So for example the meats give you muscles, peas make you run fast, carrots give you good eyes, all the carbs give you energy etc.etc. So far it seems to be working well as both boys now tuck into their peas knowing they will run super fast. But the funny part is the muscles - I've have taught them to show me their muscles with a front double bicep. So now they both eat a bit of chicken and then the big guns come up to show me their bulging muscles. The way Brandon says "muscles" as he pulls his double bicep pose is just hilarious.

Final bit of news is that Joshua's phase in sessions into the "Toy Story" class at nursery are going really well. Once he turns 3 the nursery will move him up into this bigger class permanently.

One final final cute bit of news for today...................whilst sitting at the table tonight Joshua was telling us all how Brandon is his best friend. How nice is that? Lets just hope it always stays that way and the brothers both grow up as the very best of friends.
