1st Day of School!

Well my angel, before I get to the title of this post, let me first tell you about your doctor's appointment last Thursday. He said that there is a lot of pressure in your ears and that your adenoids are swollen. That means an unfortunate operation for you towards the end of the year my angel, to take the adenoids out and to put gromets in your ears. Don't worry, mom had gromets about 8 times, it's not so bad and I promise to buy you lots of ice-cream after the op!

I am, however, so scared of my feelings when I have to see you in that hospital again, but I suppose that's making a mountain of a moles' heap hey my poopie? Anyway, doc says once your ears are sorted out, we'll see a dramatic change in your sleep patterns and appetite. In the meanwhile, he gave you some appetite stimulants to help you pick up some weight. Hopefully it works! O, and we saw your brother/sister on the tv that same night. We heard the heartbeat and doctor says he/she is 25.5mm long. Can you believe it my angel, that's only the size of an olive! If all goes according to plan, he/she will join us 31 March next year, then you'll have a permanent, live-in friend!

On Sunday dad flew to Durban for work and you've been missing him so. At the gate, at the window, everywhere you ask, daddy.... Luckily he's coming home tonight so you two can play and play!

So, back to the title. Today was your first day at school. I was dreading it a bit, only because I was scared that if you cried, I would not want to leave, and I probably would've stayed there with you the whole day. But no, you didn't care, not even a little bit! At first you were a bit shy, meeting your teacher, but after about one minute, you wriggled to get down, and then proceeded to take all the toys and show them to your teacher, one by one. When I said tata, you threw a mini tantrum, not because I was leaving, but because you thought you had to come with me! So there you have it, I think we found the right place for you, and your teacher seems so incredibly nice. They say they even give you something from the tuck-shop on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, hmmm-hmmm, as you would say!
I am so proud of you my angel. I really think you are going to blossom at this school! I'm just sorry the pictures came out so blurry. You were running along so quickly, it was difficult to catch you with the camera!

On a more serious note, please may I ask for prayers for Wes's mom. She was admitted to hospital this morning with severe asthma. Please pray that the doctors can help her and she gets discharged before her birthday tomorrow! Mom, please get well soon so that you and dad can come down and see mr. Monkey for your birthday present!

Also, very happy birthday to Megan for Saturday, and a happy big 30 to Lisa for yesterday. Hope you guys enjoyed the day and may the year to come bring you much joy and love!

Well, that's all from me for now.
Have a great week!
