They arrived

The planned trip happened, yeah....

They arrived quite late on Saturday evening, Theo was so excited he refused to sleep all day and had half an hour in the car on the way here, far too little sleep, so he was quite beside himself, but first thing he checked out was his sticker wall in the kitchen, satisfied they were still there, he moved on to the toy box, yup ok it´s there, then would you believe he went straight for the watering cans to help with the plants.

Then he checked out the furries and wanted to give them a couple of their treats. He remembered every step in the house was quite happy  chatting away, then he gave cuddles and flopped.

Sunday was a recovery day but he enjoyed the pool and was so busy reacquainting himself he didn´t really want to eat,  busy busy, to much to see and do lol

Monday and Tuesday has seen us attending various places putting paperwork into place, just when you thought you had it sorted, nope, they wanted another piece of paperwork, so back again.

So Yaya (grandma) duties have been called upon and I´m told he really chatters away to me, tale of the old iron pot as my Grandma used to say, or my Dad would say yeah and the wheel fell off. 

Early mornings and early nights, gosh they can be quite exhausting, wouldn´t change it for the world. It´s so fascinating to see the changes in Theo in just over the month, more words, total understanding and he is using signing to say what he wants.

So lovely to see their little family unit and create memories.

On Tuesday it was Mum´s funeral, we had all the links and were able to participate via internet, as did other members of the family in USA, New Zealand and England. Lovely service, with all 3 siblings giving their own tribute. welcome address, poem, based on describe your Mum in 3 words, and Chris´s slide show to Ed Sheeran´s Supermarket flowers. If you haven´t heard to song then only Ed can say it as he does.

They have taken the car to visit friends which is lovely as they have 3 small children too. Now I´d better go and think of something for dinner.

take care
