Boy, time's two

Wow is it almost 6 weeks already?!

Almost 6 weeks since our lives were made even happier with a second child and second son.

Really doesn’t feel like it until you look around and realise you’ve missed a couple of friend’s birthdays and the summers almost over, totally understandable but apologies to those who have been missed!

We’re doing really well, both boys are as healthy as can be and whilst Ruaraidh hasn’t quite learned what ‘gentle’ means he clearly loves his little brother, he’s even been known to give him a couple kisses which is immensely cute to say the least.

Struan’s even managed it all the way over to Kirkcaldy which we didn’t do until about now for Ruaraidh, he’s met one of his Grand Aunties, the one he inherited his Yoda ears from, his cousins are queuing up for a shot of a cuddle, very funny to see them having little arguments about who had a shot last and how long J

Unfortunately like life in general you get ups and downs, our only down at the moment apart from the afore mentioned lack of sociability is Ruaraidh’s fractured bed time, the little bundle of joy hasn’t went to sleep till after 11pm on quite a few occasions, we can only hope this is some kind of phase because if it keeps going someone is going to have to plug is into a caffeine drip!

As I thought it’s going to be hard to make sure Ruaraidh still feels like he’s getting the same attention as he’s used to, but that will become a little easier when Struan gets a bit more movement and he sees him as more of a little person than an interference to his play plans, which does happen on occasion just now.

Just hoping the rain will sod off at some point so he can get to play out the back more, he’s loving his slide and trike, even if he still tries to use the neighbours boys scooter whenever he sees it, typical toddler behaviour but still very funny, he’s a little charmer and has got the next door neighbours playing peek a boo with him when the weathers good enough, shame that the younger kids in the block don’t come out to play more often, but I suppose that’s the curse of living in a block of flats, they all live on the higher levels and don’t quite see the back court as a play area as much as we do.

All the fun little developments of Struan are great to watch when I get a chance to, he’s a wee smiler, very cute, more than likely he’s going to be another charmer like his big brother, and he certainly lives up to his name when it comes to nappy time and that sure keeps us on our toes!

Back again when I’ve had more sleep/conscious thoughts, have a good one folks J
