After writing in last month’s siblings post that it really wasn’t feeling like Spring yet, things have definitely turned more Spring-like in Swansea!
We’ve had some gorgeous days with blue skies and sunshine. Which has meant that we’ve been able to get out and about a bit more.
So this month’s photos are from two different days.
The first few are from a week or so ago when we went for a little walk on the beach, and then went the long way round the Guildhall to get back to Victoria park for a quick play on the swings.
Following on from being so organised with my family photo for last month’s me and mine project, I took the opportunity to get some photos of Rhys and Nerys together, knowing that I would be writing this post soon!
You can tell that these photos were taken towards the end of term, because both Rhys and Nerys look so blooming tired!
I love how their personalities show through in this. Rhys is still performing, still busy, still lively even though he just needs a rest! Nerys on the other hand, is a bit more like me I think, and is giving in to her tiredness a little bit more.
The next set of photos were taken last weekend, at the start of the Easter holidays and I think you can see a change in the children already! Knowing they’ve got a break from school, they have both just seemed to relax a bit. The sunshine has helped as well though I think.
The Easter holidays mark the end of Nerys’ first half term of doing half days at school. And it’s been really lovely seeing how well she’s settled in there.
What’s especially nice though is when I pick both her and Rhys up at the end of the day and they excitedly tell me that they saw each other in the yard at playtime. Or ‘the ard’ as Nerys calls it. No idea why, but I don’t think she’s ever said it with the Y at the start. Anyway, it’s just lovely to hear that they’re so happy to see each other like that!
These two are typical siblings.
They know how to wind each other up, and sometimes seem to go out of their way to do so. But then, at the end of the day I’ll hear them in their bunkbeds, chatting away about Pokemon, or playing Doc Mcstuffins.
And it makes my heart so happy.
Great to see them growing up.
Wow, they could be taken months apart not weeks! It’s been so lovely to have our little snippet of summer timed perfectly for the start of the summer holidays hasn’t it and they look like they’re enjoying every moment of it!
They are very much enjoying slowing everything down for a bit, and just playing, after what felt like a long term at school! The sunshine does help too! x
Listening to siblings chatting together is so beautiful. I love the contrast between the two sets of photos – they do look so much more relaxed and happy in the second ones – you can see what a difference the holidays make! Hope you are having a lovely break 🙂 #siblingsproject
Ah love those last shots, so happy x
Oh I love listening in on my two talking amongst themselves. It’s so cute. They sound like best pals. I can’t wait for my littlest to start school and have these amazing moments of seeing each other at school this September. It sounds precious. #siblingsproject
