Apparently they also share a love of lying on the couch and drinking milk. This has been a habit for Thomas practically from birth – cuddling up on the couch with a bottle/sippy cup and me/George. And it has to be a certain part of the couch. My oldest child is definitely a creature of habit. I blame the Virgo in him.

It seems Samuel is coming to enjoy this little tradition in his own right. I have to say though that sometimes it gets a little crowded when Thomas is cuddling up on the couch with me and Samuel starts getting a little jealous and wants to join. Don’t get me wrong, I love this snuggle time but in a couple of years it’s not going to be very comfortable anymore (in fact it could be a couple of weeks, given how fast they’re both growing).
