Three Toys My Three Year Old Loves!

Welcome back to our fortnightly series on Things my child loves! This fortnight we are back to Freddie who is Three Years Old and This week its all about Toys!!

So with out further adieu - Three Toys My Three Year Old Loves!

First off we have his all time favourite - Moo! This is actually the cow Moo Moo from Doc Mcstuffins which the boys have actually never seen! Freddie did hook a duck at our local community fair last summer and he chose Moo as his prize! This is the teddy he takes everywhere! He will literally not go to bed without his Moo and if he can't find him he will shout "Moo where are you!" Moo even went all the way to Majorca with us and Freddie took him everywhere we went! So Moo went to the beach, the water park and the aquarium! When Freddie had his reins on, Moo was attached to them with a toy tie and when he was in the pram Moo was attached to the shoulder strap! He was even used as a pillow when Freddie fell asleep on the coach to the resort when we arrived and when he fell asleep on the plane on the return!

Next up we have his Ninky Nonk! Now Freddie is a huge fan of In The Night Garden especially the Ninky Nonk and Pinky Ponk! He got a small Pinky Ponk for his birthday, so when daddy saw the Ninky Nonk online we knew we had to get it for him for Christmas! Not a day has gone by since that he hasn't played with it! Each of the four carriages plus the front engine has a different activity. Freddie's so far seems to be the front engine as it has four buttons to press one playing the Iggle Piggle song, another playing the Upsy Daisy song, one playing the Makka Pakka song and the last one playing lullabies as it is also a night light! 

And finally we have Megablox. Freddie used to play with these all the time when he was younger and he went off them and we were actually thinking about selling them, but daddy came homw with a big box of them that he got at work and Freddie has got right back into them! He does have to fight with James to get near them as James likes to build robots and brick walls out of them using every single block but Freddie really enjoys building towers now just like James did at three years old!

Come back in a fortnight for six toys my six year old loves! 

Freddie at Three

Happy 3rd birthday our darling little bear!

I know I always say it does not seem five minutes since your last birthday but it really feels like this last year has flown by!

Your speech has come on so much this last year! Especially since you started playgroup back in January! Come this January you will get your free 15 hours so you will be spending more time away from mummy at playgroup with your little friends!

You are still wearing a size 4 pull up in the day and a size 6+ nappy at night. You have been wearing 3-4 clothing since the middle of the summer and you are definitely so much taller at 3 than James was! Next September you will start the nursery at James school which we are all excited for! 

You hate your bedroom so you are currently crashing in mummy and daddy's room while we start getting James bedroom ready for you to move in there with him. You always share a room at Nana and Gaga's house with James so we think it will do you good to share with him at home!

You had the best time when we went on holiday to Majorca! You loved the pool and the beach so much and well you had the best suntan out of the whole family even when you were wearing a factor 50 suntan lotion!

You were a little monkey on the flight over to Majorca when you wouldnt sit in your seat for landing but on the way home you actually fell asleep and slept through landing!

You definitely love your food and literally never stop eating when you are at home! Sadly we discovered you are intolerant to bananas which is a shame as you love them, you cry your eyes out when mummy says no to having them!

You are definitely our little monkey and you love to answer back when we ask you something! You and James are best friends and you love nothing more than driving mummy potty together.

We love you so much Freddie Bear 
All our love

Freddie one week update

So our little man is now a whole week old! How is that possible, it feels like he's been here forever.

I'm going to write about Freddie first, then mummy, then James.

So at a week old Freddie now weighs 7lbs 4oz so he didn't actually lose any of his birth weight he gained 2oz. He takes 3oz feeds every three to four hours. He's wearing size 1 nappies and is wearing newborn size clothing. He is such a mummy's boy and likes nothing better than lying on mummy's chest after a feed for a snooze. He's not too impressed with his Moses basket, so he normally settles on me then daddy moves him into his basket. He had his heel prick at five days old and yes screamed his head off! Someone needs to remind Freddie that he is only a week old as he uses his legs to push himself up my body when he's lying on my shoulder. And like his big brother he has amazing head control for a newborn!

A week on for mummy from c section and I'm not feeling too bad. I'm getting out and about walking slowly normally just up to the nursery to pick up James. Still getting plenty of rest while Andy is off work and able to help with James! The dressing has been taken off and I'm using a maternity pad to cover the stitches to avoid catching them on clothing or James catching them.

We need to try and get ourselves organised a bit better in the morning as once Andy is back to work we will need to be out the door by half past eight to get to school on time!

James is still very unsure about his little brother. He always says good morning and good night to Freddie but still no kisses or cuddles. I know it's going to take time but hopefully we will get there!
