Dear Nico and Princess Brooklyn
Mama is too disorganised and busy with a gazillion appointments this past fortnight and the coming week to do two seperate posts.. so this month, you are combined and intertwined in my blog. Just like in real life.
The biggest thing to have happened this month was Nico's Toybox: The Auction. This raised about $2400 for us to ensure that you, Nico, get some more things that you need to make life better in whatever way. It was originally for toys but through the magnificent generosity of some dear friends Bec and Tom, and friend Renee's family members (Sandra and Jess), they were taken care of already.
Having had Saturdays free has been lovely. This past weekend we were meant to meet up with some other Nicu grad babies and families at Healesville but the morning didn't go to plan. Instead, later in the afternoon we went to a small but closer one. We got to hand feed kangaroos and Brooklyn, you were a celebrity with a group of Korean tourists. The moment they spotted you they ran over and were talking to you and asked if they could take pictures with you. They thought you were adorable too, Nico, and got you in on the action too.
It has been school holidays so a lot of our weekly appointments are off for 3 weeks; early intervention, swimming, dancing etc. I was looking forward to having a clear schedule but it turned out that all Nico's other appoinments were booked and we have been busier than ever running here and there; rehab, physio, case management meeting, HEN - Home Enteral Nutrition, gastro...
Brooklyn: "Mama, I wanna sna-a-ack"
Me: "You just had some cheese and an apple"
(5 minutes later, runs in to me)
Brooklyn: "Mama, Upsy Daisy really needs a snack b'coz she didn't have any and she really wants some...umm.. crunchy bits"
