Cot Rocking

We went on holiday with two travel cots and came back with only one.

Here's why....

Pushchair Entertainment

Keeping the boys entertained whilst in their pushchair is becoming a more challenging activity by the day.

Whilst we were on holiday, we found these brilliant toys which would keep them quiet for hours - well, ten minutes at least. It's all about distraction y'know!

The looks we got from other people ranged from shock to laughter! Whatever, we're past caring now....

Picasso No No

Gutted! We were so looking forward to a meal in our fave restaurant in Puerto Banus the other night (Picasso's) - only to find that they don't have high chairs! Kerazy!

So, we had to settle for the (vastly emptier) restaurant next door - which just so happened to have very cool high chairs (unlike most of the other restaurants in Spain) and also happened to be doing 2 for 1 on main courses! Hoorah! You can see the joy on our faces (and food on the Theo and Charlie's) below...

Charlie and the Chocolate Cake

He didn't eat it all himself - honest...

Goggles

The boys' desire to dress up at every opportunity is starting to worry us....   :-)

Planes, Automobiles and Bob the Builder

I'm sure this is just the first of many times we'll be putting the boys on rides like this. Surprisingly to us, Theo absolutely hated being on the rides when they were moving (which is handy as that makes them free!). Charlie meanwhile loved them so much, he screamed the place down when we dragged him off!

Roast Theo and Mint Sauce

An evening meal of roast leg of baby lamb with mint sauce. Theo decided he liked to taste and went for the whole bowl!

Water Water Everywhere

We spent the morning at the local water park the other day. Whilst there was some temptation to take the boys on the big slides, we decided to stick with the paddling pools! Clair and I did manage to go on some of the big ones on our own whilst Nanny and Grampy looked after the boys at the bottom.

The boys' confidence in the water continues to amaze us. Theo in particular was more than happy to slide off the edge of the pool and dunk under the water into our waiting arms/

Visiting the Aunties

We had lunch with the boys' two Aunties the other day. After lunch we went out to the pool. The boys seemed far more interested in the showers than getting into the water!

Slide Away

We found a kiddies playground the other day and took the boys there one evening (WAY too hot during the day). The boys loved going on the slide - this was the first time we'd seen them have the confidence to climb up the slide and go down it on their own, completely unattended!
