Coming Home

Forgot to write earlier and I think everybody already knows but we are coming home close to Christmas!! Crazy expensive tickets for Christmas so we opted for the cheaper alternative and are flying on the 11th of Dec. hooray! Hope to see everybody there!!!!

Potty time

Me and Leah was in the bathroom for another potty time and after oh 10 minutes of sitting there with her on the potty of the potty on the potty off the potty I got bored and left her all content playing with toilet tissue and sitting on her potty. After a few minutes she ran to get me shouting "titta" and "bajs" so I go with her and she DID actually go to the potty, but it was not more than a tiny droplet, I clapped my hands and said good girl, but she just looked embarrassed until I washed it away and every time we went passed the bathroom she kept saying "bajs". Success!

Forgot to post this video a while ago but here it is! We were over at Eimears and Martins for dinner and the kids went crazy on their bed, Leah never got tired of it and kept on dancing long after Madison and cash got bored and I had the camera handy.

jag tar dig

Leahs nya favvo fras ar "jag tar dig" Gor man inget nar hon sagt det ger hon ordern "bye" och/eller "in" sa att man ska ga o gomma sig nagonstans. Hon ger sig inte heller o blir valdigt ledsen om man inte leker med henne. Riktiga uttbrott ibland! Vi e helt slut vissa dagar for vi jagat varandra fram o tillbaka i hallen, sen nar hon har fatt nog av det ska man sitta ner pa en av hennes sma stolar o dricka te med henne, "sitt, sitt!" o har man satt sig pa fel stol at hon snabb o sager "neeej" sa ska man flytta sig till den andra stolen. Puh!

friends

I am so happy today cause people keep surprising me all the time with their kindness and I am just so grateful. Everybody have been so helpful since we got here and helping out every way they can. Seighleo called today asking if I needed to go to the store or anywhere else so we're gonna make Fridays our grocery shopping day and after have a drink or two. Can't wait! She also said that she'll watch Leah if we want to go to the movies or dinner. Yes!
Finally bought an album and put the photos (6 months worth of pics) in it- love to flick through it and see everybody. Miss you all!!!

plane tickets

Trying to find cheap tickets for us coming over for christmas but they are quite expensive, the cheapest I've found are in total (without bags) over 200 Euros and Michael doesn't think we have the money to spend on them which we don't but I really want to, but we'll see if I can find better ones tomorrow. If not I hope everybody would understand and we'll meet up after christmas or whenever it is cheap to fly over.
Sitting waiting for Leah to wake up so we can go get some groceries, and after play in the park outside, the sun is shining brightly today!

trip to Gosford park

It wasn't raining today so we decided to take advantage of it and go out somewhere- we met up with Jody (Leah loves saying his name over and over and over) and Seighlio and their two kids Kiersha (18months) Josh (4 months). We went to a park with ducks, goats, sheep and other animals.
I think Leahs favourite was the geese honking like mad, she went honking for a few minutes after and didn't want to leave the bird area but once she saw the goats she attempted to feed them rocks and assorted pebbles and could not understand why they wouldn't eat them so she kept trying saying baa baa baa and the occasional vov vov vof- but no.
After running here and there and everywhere she got tired so Kiersha took over running with her wobbly style and Leah took her seat in the stroller next to baby Josh. Did not sleep until we got into the car on the way home at 5pm though.
