Today is one of Jessica’s heart days – it is two years today
since her Glenn procedure. This time two years ago, she had just come out of
theatre and was in PICU. It is such a
huge blessing to look at her today and see how far she has come. Like all heart parents, we have learned to make
the most of every moment with our children and we were very sad to hear that
some friends of ours recently lost their little girl. We are reminded that our children are a very
precious gift and how important it is to make sure they know they are loved and
enjoy all those precious moments. Our
thoughts and prayers are with our friends at this very sad time.
We were sad to say goodbye to our wonderful toddler signing
teacher Bev at Tinytalk today as she is stepping down from teaching baby
signing. Bev has taken all of the
signing classes that Jessica has attended for the last two years and we will
miss her – thank you Bev, we have enjoyed the last two years of your classes
very much.
Jessica is now able to recognise all the numbers from 1 to
10 which is great fun when we are in the lift at the shopping centre as she
points out the numbers each time the doors open: “Hello number three, bye-bye
number three, see you soon number three!”
She is also getting there with being able to count to 20 and is starting
to learn her colours although still gets a bit mixed up with these at the
moment.
We had a lovely few days staying with Nanny and catching up
with the family last week whilst Daddy was away in Berlin and Jessica and
Sophie got to meet their new cousin Gracie-Mae who was born a few weeks ago as
well as seeing a few of their other cousins.
They also have another new cousin who was born earlier this week – baby Freddie
– although we haven’t yet met this latest addition to our family.
How time flies- two years on and what a happy little girl she is- I wonder if the star glasses and hat suggest she want to start auditioning? Love to you all. Elizabeth.
