Its a sad day *pout*

Emily has taken two giant leaps today...

1. She has decided that she wants ALL her drinks in a big girl cup in future.

2. She has realised after all these years its not Vail Narnish but Nail Varnish

I did a little sad smile to myself as the penny dropped and she said it correctly for the first time. Its the only little mis-word iv never picked her up on because it made me smile so much and it didnt do any harm to leave it alone althought iv always called it by its real name she just always liked to call it Vail Narnish.... this is a sad day...

Nightmare!!!

The sun broke out today and we managed to get up to about 10 degree's, it was lovely but fresh out, the birds was having a little sing song and the morning had been and gone doing the supermarket run for "back to school" tomorrow so i decided to put the enclosure back on the trampoline and let the girls have half hour of fun.

Lia came this weekend so after i put the enclosure on (which took nearly 45mins!) i set a couple of garden chairs up in the entrance of the garage made us a cup of tea and helped the girls up and zipped them in.

All was going great, sat down took a sip of my tea just as i looked up Hannah fell sideways and landed flat on top of her left arm and burst out crying!!

I got her straight off, Emily looked very concerned as like me she knows Hannah doesnt normally cry like that, she was seriously upset, big fat tears and snot everywhere.

I had a good look at her wrist, checked her fingers were moving, all fine but when i tried to raise her arm a little she got very defensive and said it was hurting.  I sat her on Lias knee while i went to get a dummy and teddy to try and cheer her up and when i got back i held teddy up a little bit to see if she would reach up for him.  She raised her arm up about half way took ted and started cuddling him so i was fairly certain nothing was broken.

A little while after i put her on the setee and asked her if she wanted a cup of tea btu when she tried to hold her tea with both hands she couldnt move her left arm and started to cry again.  That was enough for me, time to go!

Dropped Emily in at Nanna's and me Dad and Hannah went up to A&E where she had 2 x-rays taken and they revealed she had indeed broken it just above the elbow!!

I burst out crying! Kicking myself for putting the silly trampoline up, started blaming myself, just feel awful, my poor baby.

She was as unruely as expected at the hospital, she was very tired by this point and didnt want anyone to touch it.  The nurses put a half cast on while i tried to hold her legs still to stop her kicking the nurse.  Im glad they were quick she is really really strong!

She has to go back tomorrow for a proper cast on, im glad they fit her in so soon as this temporary one is really heavy and she wont let me put a sling on her.

What a day! She seems to have settled to bed really well, luckily she is used to sleeping on her right side since i turned her cot round a couple of months ago.

Emily is terribly worried about her little sister, i think she is going to be mothering her big time for the next few weeks.

The Cardboard box

Why is it everything is better in a cardboard box?

hehe

Let It Snow!

We finally got some snow!!

Hannah was too little for the snow last year so iv been itching to get some so she can join in the fun.  I bought two sledges well in advance for this year after last years carry on.

We woke up this morning to a lovely covering of proper snow and best of all the sun was shining and it was a beautifull fresh but pleasant day.

We made a big snowman in the front garden together and then had a bite to eat before heading to the park to meet the gang.

 Hannah was made up with the snow, she thought it was great fun and insisted on pulling her own sledge all the way to the hill

 As you would expect there was not a moments hesitation or fear from Hannah she loved every minute of it and wouldnt give us a rest. Its a good job Auntie Shell and Auntie Rie arrived to take a few turns so me and Steve could catch our breaths lol

 We was at the park a good hour before we started to get damp and cold. It was glorious standing their in the warm sunshine and looking out over the crisp white park.

 With a little help from Daddy Emily has finally learned how to have a proper snowball fight which she loved. Last year she was running up to us and placing the snow on us hehe
