At last we bestired ourselves and decided to change the sleeping routine we so far had. Robin is almost two years old, we can't still put him sleep on the sofa with his milk while Benji listening to stories in our bed.
Since two nights ago this will go amongst to the "why didn't we do this earlier?!" stories.
Robin loved being part of the story telling, and he went to bed without a fuss when I told them "bedtime now". And they both slept without a stir until the morning for the last two nights.
I also enjoyed their two little warm bodies either side of me while reading "Superworm", Richard also enjoyed his extra 20 minutes which he can spend alone without trying to be quite because of Robin. The only person who might looses out was Bejni, as he had to share his one-to-one time with me and also had to read baby stories which we read million times.
And it is a little bit sad, that I don't have a baby in a sleeping bag anymore, no all-in-one pyjamas, just a big boy pyjamad cheeky little man (whom already grown out of the 2-3 year old pyjamas).
My other big boy also closed a chapter last week. He had his graduation at nursery, and he is going to have his last week there next week. They even did a graduation photo of them in cap and gown, which I think is a bit of an american monkeyness, but he still looks cute on the picture.
They have prepared a little show for the parents, they reanected the Gruffalo, and sang an Astronout song where he participated. He didn't really want to do anything in the beginning, he started crying that he wants his mummy, but Caroline his key worker managed to persuade him that he should do something. I waved at him encouragingly and he looked at me saying "I love you mummy". Difficult to fight back my own tears.
At the end they all received a little graduation Teddy and a photo. We could take picture of them with Sarah the nursery manager. Shame that the photo wasn't with one of his key workers, as I don't particulary like the manager, and now we can watch her face in the photos for years on :-)
And the boy's new craze: World Cup football stickers. Every night Richard brings home 2-3 packets of stickers and they stick them into the album together. Benji reads the numbers, Robin hands them over, and Richard sticks them in. I really can not decide which of the three is more enthusiastic when they get a team together. They even have their "swapsy mates" with Oscar and his daddy, whom is probably even more fanatic than my three.
