Hello

we have been so busy we forgot to blog!!

Peter - I am now four and a half and I have been going to school since last September. I am driving mummy and daddy banannas but I don't mean to I am just learning about everything. ellie and I fight a lot but she keeps taking my toys and won't let me play with hers. Mummy says she needs to learn about sharing. I still wear my foot splint and I have one at night to. Mummy and daddy say they are very pleased with my progress.

Eleanor - I am now two and a half years old and I am having what daddy calls the 'terrible twos'. I just get very frustrated because people don't always understand me and I don't always get what i want. I am doing well at Nursery. we all went on holiday to florida last year and had a great time. Peter and I really enjoyed the pool at the house.

Potty Time!!

Hello,

It's been a long time since we chatted.

My big acheivement is that I can use my Potty and haven't had an accident for almost two weeks. Mummy and Daddy are very pleased and bought me some big boy pants with Noddy on. Ellie still has to wear nappies because she's just a baby and I'm a big boy!

Urgh!

I have conjunctivitis in both eyes and I am teething and I am a bit miserable! Apart from that I am happy and healthy and I am now 13 months old! We are going on holiday next week - I don't really know what that is but Peter seems very excited about something called a beach and the sea.

Love Eleanor xx

Hello,

I have had a new splint but my foot still does not seem right. I am at the hospital on friday so hopefully that will help.
We are going on holiday on Saturday but I have not yet got a bucket and spade. Mummy says she will definately get me one.
Ellie is cute but she cries when I sit on her - I don't quite understand why!

Love Peter xx

My first Christmas Party!!

Hello,

Mummy took me to my first Christmas party yesterday - I was tired so I slpt through most of it! There was some singing and unwrapping a parcel that had been passed around a bit. I got something that mummy called 'white chocolate buttons' - it tasted odd so Peter ate them!

A funny looking man in a red suit with a white beard came. I sat on his knee and he gave me another parcel. This one was just for me and had a cuddly zebra book in it. Peter helped me unwrap it because I'm not very good at opening things yet.

I think I had a good time but it was all a bit odd!!

Hospital - again!

Yesterday I went to see the Doctor at the hospital again. He examined the lump in my neck and gave me a sticker for being a good boy!

He talked to mummy and daddy but I didn't really understand what was being said, but they were smiling so I think everything is ok. I have to go back in a few months time just to be completely sure.

Peters blood results show markers for glandular fever but it is uncertain what caused it. He is still quite tired but is slowly improving. The doctor said that we could repeat the blood tests as sometimes the results were clearer after a time. Since this was not really necessary we declined.

Musings

Hello everyone!

My name is Eleanor, I am now six months old and my parents say I am extremely cute. My big brother Peter is very boisterous and jumps up and down on me. I don't mind too much although he does sometimes make me cry.

I can nearly sit up by myself, I am a bit wobbly and sometimes I get so excited I fall over backwards but I am getting there.

Peter is almost two and a half now and mummy and daddy say he is doing really well. He won't leave his thumb splint on but tolerates his ankle/foot splint very well.

We have both had colds - I still have mine but Peter is better.

Peter is still recovering from his glandular fever and gets very tired.

Well that's it for my first ever posting - bye!

Hello again!

Well it's been ages since I last wrote anything - I am now walking, running and occasionally jumping although I haven't quite got the hang of the last bit yet!

NEWS!!!!STOP PRESS!!!!! NEWS!!!!

Mummy had a little girl - so now I have a new sister. Mummy and Daddy says she is called Eleanor or Ellie but I just call her 'baby'. She is now 5 months old and she doesn't really do a lot - I'm not really sure what she is for but it's kind of funny when she smiles and makes funny noises at me.

I still have to wear a splint on my foot - I'm now on to my third one - it seems to help but sometimes my foot gets a bit sore.

I am supposed to wear a splint on my thumb to help me use it but I can take it off really quickly!

I spent a day and a half at the hospital at the beginning of the week. I have a lump in my neck and I have been feeling very tired. I had to have some blood taken, but it didn't hurt as they had put some magic cream on. Mummy and Daddy seemed quite worried and mentioned scary words like leukeamia and lymphoma. It turned out that I have had glandular fever so now I am allowed to sleep whenever I like!

Splint

Hello,

A couple of days ago I got my splint for my left leg/foot. It makes me look like a supercool cyber baby!! It keeps my ankle stiff so I can't roll my foot onto the side. It is supposed to help me too walk but I think it is just to scary to let go of the furniture - besides I can get about much quicker on my hands and knees!

Mummy is feeling much better and her tummy is getting bigger but less bouncy! I hope my little sister has enough room in there!

Daddy has been very busy but he's a bit calmer now. He takes me shopping - I like the trolly best!
