Pictures = Thousand Words







Leo wanted to have eyebrows and eyelashes for Christmas...unusual request for a 3 year old and the photo may not show the lashes and brows BUT hey, how much hair has he got? He has been so happy today in so many ways. He's been the school for a whole 5 hours and loved every minute. His teachers have also commented on how well Leo is looking and how sociable and responsible he is with all the children. Amazing!

He has also had the longest bath in history and really enjoyed it as I bought some goggles for him as we're now able to go swimming now his chest has healed from his central line.

And he's also back in his own bed and even let me come back downstairs before he fell asleep! Woo hoo! Normality is upon us and with slight trepidation that at some point in the future, our new normality it will be upset again, we're going to grab our life by the horns.

Plus PJ had a good first day at school...work!
All in all, a good day.

Normality Resumes / Starts Tomorrow

And so the new year is upon us and along with it comes normality. With Leo's energy levels now going through the roof, we think he is making up for lost time. It's almost as though he's eating and running about not just for now, but to make up for the months and months of chemo and radiotherapy last year.

We had planned to have Leo increase his time at nursery school to four 5-hour sessions per week but with his energy as it now is and our need for increased income, we'll explore a few more sessions each week very soon and then with PJ working full-time, I can then invest the time Leo's at school in building my businesses again.

Normality resumes tomorrow...here's hoping it stays that way for the foreseeable future...

Tomorrow is a new day in more ways than one, and we're all looking forward to it.
