Oh how they've grown

I spoke to my dad yesterday and it has been so long since we've seen him, he saw the pictures of the boys on the blog and commented on how much they've grown. His comments made me look back on the pictures of the boys over the last 3 years and I see they have shot up so much in that short time, I felt I should post some pictures of my boys' growth thus far.

When Joel was small; it was very much a big brother and protector relationship. Saul was there whenever Joel cried or needed something. He put the dirty nappies in the bin for me and found it thoroughly entertaining to cuddle his brother for hours on end.

As they got bigger, a friendship grew and Joel began to copy everything Saul did. Because of this, Joel learned to walk at 10 months, he enjoys music and dancing and was speaking clear sentences before many other children his age. Joel communicates well and has a wicked sense of humour; I would like to take credit for this but I have to say the credit belongs to Saul.

Now Joel is 3 and Saul is 6. They have more fun together than any other brothers I have seen. They laugh at nothing and do it in a manner that makes you feel excluded; like it's their own private joke. They can fight over a toy one minute and then be cuddling each other the next. And they stand up for each other, even when it's mummy and daddy telling them off. I'm so blessed to have them. I'm lucky they are so close and I can't wait to see what the next 3 years brings.
