Libby worked well at her exercises with me this morning, she is obviously getting stronger by the day but she still has a long way to go. MSN with Nanny Sophie this morning and then a surprise MSN with Nanny & Grandad Lee – thank you Linda for letting them use your computer – Dave had even managed to tidy up in case anyone went into our place – so he tells me!!

Again no therapy today as it's Sunday, it makes the time drag a little and it's hard to fill the day, especially when we decide to start the day with a morning around the swimming pool, only to find it's been closed for safety reasons - we had two very disappointed children and lots of tears! So, we went to the Butterfly House which we had planned to do in the afternoon, it was very nice, although Libby was a bit freaked out with all the butterflies flying around her, Ben however, was absolutely delighted to stick his head in a bubble amongst the cockroaches! Uncle Karl had gone all 'Geeky' with his camera and was delighted with his picture of the dragon flies enjoying themselves???!! - one even managed to smile at him!!

We headed off back via a shopping centre for lunch and for Uncle Karl to get more T-shirts, surprisingly without too much protest from Libby & Ben. We came back to the apartment and then went for a walk via some more shops; according to Libby & Ben – looking for ‘Ice Cream’ - they didn’t question it, even in the shoe shop!! We popped into Pet Smart again because I spotted a couple of dogs, oh how I wished we hadn’t, there were dozens of rescue cats & dogs all sitting in cages looking longingly at us and the shop assistant homed in on Libby and presented her with ‘Chrissie’ the kitten with ‘Cerebral Palsy’, how we wanted to take her home. Anyway, we pulled ourselves away, got home and went for something to eat.

Another day gone, looking forward to therapy every day next week and then coming home next Saturday/Sunday and seeing all our family and friends.

Tracey, I’ll tell you about the shoes when I see you!!!

Karen, you must have had a few, Dave assures me they were busty blondes!!
