Mendez Family

Just realised how very long it has been since we updated our blog. Sorry about that, life has been so hectic. Here are a couple of pictures from recent months. We all really enjoyed the snow. Ben loved sledging and building snow ports (no idea what they were but kept him entertained for hours You can see an example in this picture). Mikey took to the slopes like a penguin and cast himself off the hill on his belly, sliding all the way to the bottom and flapping his arms if he got stuck. I hope we have some more snow so I can film it this time.

Mikey is learning to talk and point and shake his head and all kinds of things. He loves dogs, thomas the tank engine (not again) and music of any kind. He also loves reading and will spend long periods of time sitting on the floor surrounded by books after pulling them all off the shelf, just reading them to himself. He understands most of what I say to him now. Here he is in this picture with sandwich bags around his feet because I hadn't bought him any snow boots yet but that is no longer the case.


Ben is into fighting (wrestling), playing on the CBeebies website, pirates, dinosaurs and cooking . Quite an eclectic mix for a 3 year old I think! He still loves to read and is doing well at recognising letters and their different sounds. This is heralding the end of me summarizing the pages of the stories I read to him, as he starts to notice that these are not the actual words.
