Mayhem

Winter loves having a friend living two doors up. The see each other almost daily and get along very well. Baxter is desperate to be part of the gang and the boys mostly tolerate him tagging along. Sometimes Baxter cops and outpouring of affection with passionate kisses and cuddles, especially from Satch. Other times however being the littlest has its drawbacks and the treatment gets too rough.

The video below is of the boys revving each other up and having a delirious moment. Baxter is thrilled to be part of the action but suddenly the boys decide to pick on him. Poor Baxi, lucky he is a resilient little trooper.

Shoez

Baxter is very close to taking his first steps. Mum has kitted him out in some new fancy shoes to mark the occasion.

Nice

Beach

We went to Sorrento recently to escape the hot weather. Its usually a few degrees cooler on the coast. There is plenty of things for little boys to do around the town such as visit the rescue chopper.

Swinging

We finished off our outing with a dual swinging session. Seeing the boys playing together successfully was another of my 'satisfying parenting moment' where all the hard work seems worthwhile.

Two happy boys - clever mummy!

Jeronimo!

The fun continued on the slide. Baxter's newset most exciting discovery is that he can launch himself down a slide (see video below). He finds it thrilling and likes to do it over and over again. On this occasion he and Winter had a delirious time sliding down one after another, together etc. Winter enjoyed being in charge of catching his little brother at the bottom (also featured on video below).

Spiderman

We had a lovely day at the playground recently. It felt like the boys are coming to a turing point in their relationship. Baxter is now physically confident enough to join in on some of the playground activities. It was enjoyable to watch the boys being good playmates. Baxter normally spend most of his day annoying Winter as he wants to grab everything big brother plays with eats etc. As this causes scuffles, tension etc any signs of compatable behaviour is a nice change.

Scallywag

Winter is continuing his close relationship with daisy's fairy dress. Last week he insisted on wearing it to the 'jumping castle' which is what we call the local indoor playcenter.

He was in high spirits and the sight of him being so raukus in his delicate frock made me laugh.

Baxi was laughing and jumping too. It will be fun when he is big enough to join Winter on the main stage for some WWF jumping action (I wonder what costume he will wear?!).
