Hello again!!!
It's been too long since we updated the blog which is a shame as Curtis has been doing so much and having such fun, as well as keeping us smiling. He is now 3.5 years old and is doing all the things we'd expect him to at that age.
He still attends his nursery 4 days/week but from April this year he also started 'big nursery' at big school which he totally took in his stride after just a brief settling in session. He goes 3-4 afternoons each week and is gradually making new friends there but is still most settled at his regular nursery with best friend Morven and spends an increasing amount of time with the slightly older boys Kyle, William and Lewis who are all obsessed with superheros, pirates and fireman.
Curtis loves dressing up - most recent obsession is Spiderman - he was delighted last week to receive a spiderman cap from nanna and taid and said 'wow, I will wear it every day'. He loves the spiderman pants Anutie Deborah bought him and this all ties in perfectly with his insistance on wearing his favourite colour Red most of the time.
Today we are having a lazy day at home, about to cook some filo pastry 'boreks' and mango muffins. Curtis has been watching Breakdance championships DVD and managed to create himself a breakdance outfit of joggies, T shirt, baseball boots and the all important cap worn backwards....I've managed to convince him breakdancers eat chicken adn sweetcorn soup to get him though his lunch too - great! You did know Spidermans favourite foood is brocolli didnt you?
Bought him a fantatsic 'French is Fun' card game, CD and DVD set and he is loving it all, quite to my surprise. Serge the monkey and Pascale the parrot DVD has not been off the TV since we got it and he is pickign up a few words. Not fussed about that so much as him just understanding that other languages are there and not to be scared of them as I was at school.
Tomorrow we are off to swimming lessons then in pm to a childrens show with Morven and her parents. I'm keen to do as much as we can with Curtis in the next few months as we are expecting another baby in early November and I know we'll not have as much time to do it then.
Thanks to Nanna and Taid, Uncle Tim and Deborah we all had a great holiday in Portugal a few weeks ago, lots of good weather, good food and fun. Curtis was so much easier than last year too, and had a bit of a holiday romance!! Just happened to find that a couple we knew with baby same age when Curtis was born were staying at the same resort - we hadn't seem them for 1.5 years since we moved, so this was a welcoome reunion, Curtis and Milli making the most of days in the pool and nights dancing for hours in the restaurant. They were hilarious dancing together, so confidend and funny, Milli so girly with her twirls and spins and Curtis very much the guy hands on hips and a spot of breakdancing too -magic. Wish our camera hadn't broken...grrrr!
Well, I've no idea if anyone reads this anymore but thats our up-date just now - it's still nice for us t keep a record of changing events, hope to add some photyos soon, Steph
