Rhys in 2018

We no longer have a little baby or even a little toddler to share the antics of....instead we now have a full blown little boy!!  In April, he turned 2! The day after his 2nd birthday, I threw away his dummy and his bottle.  After looking for a dummy every day for the last 5 years, I was over it!  So it was cold turkey for the little boy but as with most things he took it well. 
 
 
 
 
Rhys Maxwell has hit the ground running (typical of the 3rd child).  He spends his day trying to keep up with the older two.  He also keeps a very close eye on his Daddy - not letting him out of his sight...
 
 
 
However, Darryn is still not keen to take two little boys to work, so most days Rhys and I potter around getting our jobs done.  Sometimes I take him down to the yards so he can at least be involved a little bit.  As you can see, its the highlight of his day!
 
 
 
Rhys also loves the beach - surfing and fishing.  Although his attention span is not conducive to successful fishing trips, he just loves to be involved.  We only have two fishing rods for the three kids and Rhys is usually the one who misses out!  Sometimes its the end of his little world, sometimes he couldn't care less!
 
 
 
 
He absolutely loves riding his horse.  He would ride her around all day if Darryn and I were willing to lead him.

 
 
Since Heidi has been at school this year, Rhys and Lewis have become good mates.  Rhys constantly asks me 'Where Ewis" when Lewis has gone with Darryn for the day.

 
 
Rhys has decided he doesn't need an afternoon sleep anymore - it seemed to be interfering with his escapades with Dad.  So come the end of the day this little two year old can barely eat his dinner before the day catches up with him and he is overcome by sleep....Lewis usually isn't too far behind him.
