missing ruen!!!:)) (Reuben)

Lonley so lonley I have no body I'm on my own!!!!:(((( Well its been a hard week for us all. Zac has somehow came up with tonsilitis and then perked up but found Reuben's departure to big school very very upsetting. IT was strange. It was finally time for me and him time yet he was madly looking for his brother. Every time the door bell rang or we headed out he called for his brother....also every toy seemed to remind him of his Reuen as he calls him. So its been baby time...but with a lot of these sadish faces!Finally was time to do something about being lonley and we decided to visit aunty Iveta who had Alfie with her and Zac loves Alfie lots and so he enjoyed seeing his friend (his brother;s friend really) and here they were having a snack. I did not think of taking food as we only gone for 1 hour to get him used to going to Iveta's so we shared some of Alfie;s food....he was very willing to share....especially when it came to little cheeky Zackie.Now that Reuben is at school we had started a rigorous evening routine that includes reading a little before bedtime. Granny often eats with us in the evening and she loves reading books with the boys. AND Oh THE BOYS LOVE IT too:)) Its a pleasure having granny at bed time routine. She has a lot of patience and often able to dialogue with boys....while mummy quickly rushes around house to tidy up and put away the noisy stuff...:))
Loves loves copying his brother! the trouble is many things are kind a dangerous like sitting on a worktop close to things like cooker, taoster, kattle and knifes. Still how cheeky boys found the merringues and well...there was no breakfast that day!!We had been enjoying a bit more of our courtyard which is big and very spatious. Some of our neighbours don;t really like this but I think its good for us....and we often see our neighbours and chat to them which is also good. I always thought it was important for my children to know their neighbours and friends and family.Zac has been very moddy and emotional this week...I am noticing very strong will and very much work needs to be done in embracing feelings and expressing them correctly. He is very loud and dramatic just like his brother but very attentive to detail something that comes NO DOUBT from daddy. He also seems to take time to warm to people (also daddy) and seems to need to make the first step and gets annoyed if people approach him with baby like ways...:)))
He is very independent...a bit too much....often tries to eat all by himself and even get bread out and such....sometimes very annoying....he can explain pretty much everything he wants and even applauds himself when I miss the occasion to praise him for something:)))
We are going to try and spend some time together and focus on each other at home then also will go to some group activities and hopefully will be with aunty Ivetta one morning a week to start with...possibly two. Hope to see Kelli whom we have not seen for a long long time.
