Celebrating Ashton's Full Month

It's nearly a month since Ashton arrived! I thought we were rather low key in the manner we've entertained guests and arranging for the ritual full month celebration but that kept yesterday rather busy for us. I felt really bad for not blogging as much about him compared to when Cayden first arrived.
Ashton grew and has the chubby cheeks his older brother has since his first month. It's lovely to see how Ashton grew... He has been a lovely baby! He doesn't cry as much as Cayden and even if he cries, he is really gentle. A stark contrast to his short tempered brother. Hope he will be a positive influence to little Cayden!
I did something horrible yesterday and today today, I tested Cayden's love for Ashton and did so by asking Ashton to be brought back to MY home. Cayden was very sure that he didn't allow that to happen and insisted that I cannot bring Ashton home. He said,"I like Ashton. You cannot bring him home." *SWEET* Yesterday, on our way from Vivocity back home, I told Cayden that it was not possible to fit the family into the car, and if Ashton and Mum had to join us for dinner, we have to leave Ashton in the carboot or leave him on the roof of the car. He got very worried and started dispelling those thoughts from my mind by sharing that it will be dangerous to leave Ashton on the roof. He was worried Ashton would fall from the roof and hurt himself. *NICE BABY*
On the other hand, Cayden seemed to have developed exceptionally fast in the area of conceptualising and thinking! Uncle Sam and I have been brain storming on how to deal with this fellow who has loads of thoughts going through his mind. Reasoning is definitely very crucial in our daily interaction with him... :) Like many other smart children, taking instructions is something not happening each time already. You need to help him understand why decisions are made like that... PHEW! He has been telling me that he decided to take some actions because "my brain told me to so.". I nearly fainted from hearing these coming from a 3 year told...
