Anyhow, hope the children and I find everyone well, we're still doing well here, settled in to a school routine quite nicely. Initially Cerys was very keen to do full days back in school, but she did find it a bit too much to begin with, so we've settled on half days now, but she eats her lunch with her friends, to try and get a bit of socialising in too =) The word from her teacher is that educationally, we have nothing to worry about, and her reading seems to be coming on leaps and bounds at the moment, and she's trying to read EVERYTHING!! Have to start being careful what I write ;)
Iwan settled into Nursery well too, after a few anxious days. But he's happy to go and play with all his friends now, although it does seem to tire him too, I suppose i underestimated the effect it would have on him as he was quite a bit older.
So all in all, our morning school runs are smooth and seamless....and I'm getting used to the going back and forth three times a day too!
Right what have we done since last post????
Happy birthday Matthew......these kids don't half adore him!
Cerys taking Iwan for his first morning at Nursery......
and his first star!!!! *is proud*
We've been able to get out and about a little bit more too, Cerys and I went to the cinema to see The Princess and the Frog, which we both enjoyed!! We were also invited to a film premier, which was a first!! It was part of a project Cerys participated in whilst in hospital, making short animated films using models. The staff that came round weekly were fab, and Cerys thoroughly enjoyed it, so it was nice to round it off by going and seeing the collection of everyone's films. It was a very emotional day actually, it was nice to get together with all our friends from the hospital, and do something positive together, and all the children who took part got an Oscar =D I had a lump in my throat quite a few times, we saw one friend walk up to collect her award, when she wasn't able to when we left, and of course there was the silence when some children weren't there to collect theirs. It was also really interesting to see all the nursing staff all glammed up - Alder Hey scrubs up beautifully!! Here's Cerys with Abbi and Debbie....
and here are the children in Liverpool's Cavern Quarter, where we had some lunch before the Ceremony, Cerys playing air guitar with the Beatles, and Iwan on drums ;)
and here they are in their finery *is proud again*
We've also been to see their favourite television characters in the Little Big Show in Llandudno thanks to Nain, but we weren't allowed to take any pictures.
And last lot of pics, Cerys lost her first baby tooth!! To say she was excited was a complete understatement, and we're trying to get used to seeing her smile with an additional gap to the one she had anyway!
So I think you're all up to date now.....I have parents evening for Cerys next week =) and she's having her lines out on the 8th of March all being well *GULP* I am off to Chester for a little birthday meal tonight thanks to my good friend Natalie, and the kids are off to the Sealife centre tomorrow, so will see if Cerys will take some pictures for me. If I was to blog more regularly then i woulnd't have the dilemma of which pictures to upload, as I have loads, most can be found on Facebook anyhow.
Thanks to everyone for their messages and continued support, we really do appreciate it xx
