On Tuesday afternoon while we were all getting ready to go out for a walk Ellie called out: “Are you ready? Let’s go!”. That’s a 5 – count ‘em: 5 – word phrase! I am a proud Dad

During their bedtime routine Jake especially loves being read to while they have their bedtime milk. On Saturday I was reading a book that featured a mouse & blackberries, & Jake was pretending to pick the blackberries from the page & eat them, & also feed them to me. Both of us having spent a lot of the summer picking & eating them in the garden I said to him: “You like blackberries don’t you?”; “and milk” he added, finishing a sentence!
We had a first this morning. Jake said “Pee!” very excitedly, ran off, then came back with a potty: the contents of which appeared to have been just added. A little star! He was very pleased with himself, & rightly so,
These are highlights from the last week’s posts of my ’3 Brilliant Things’ where I (aim to) post 3 things every day that have made me happy, 1 of many 3BT blogs doing just that.
It is also part of Chris’ “Things They Say & Do’ blog linky over at her blog ‘Thinly Spread‘. Please have a read of the other posts there, they’re very good. I can’t hope to compete with the wit & cuteness of those posts – but keep in mind that my twins have only just turned 23 months! They’ve come a long way but still have a long way to go. But then, isn’t that true of us all?

Hi. I'm 'JallieDaddy': a bloke, living in south Wales. In March 2010 I became a Dad to twins ('Jallie') relatively late in life. This was supposed to be about how I'm finding it all, whether I'm coping or otherwise, & how it's changing my life. And how has it changed my life? In every way! So now I've sort of figured out that it's not about me - it's about Us. For more, please see my "Huh?" page
It really is amazing isn’t it! Ours also love to take part in stories too!
Jasper and Tilly (I guess that makes me Jally Mummy!) are about 6 months older than Jake and Ellie… will make sure to keep popping in to keep up-to-date, and now following you on posterous too
Aw, how lovely is that?! Were you reading Rufus and the Blackberry Monster by the way? I need to know! It’s such a good idea to keep a record of all this because it is SO amazing! x
