SCBU Xmas Party

Its been a trying week. The boys have been full of a cold and waking a lot during the night due to bunged up noses.

On Thursday Carols Mum & Dad came round and baby sat for a few hours so I could catch up on my sleep, which was very much appreciated.

Friday afternoon we had a visitor, Amy came round. This is my neice and she popped in on her way home from school, so we could look after her until her Mum & Dad got back home. As it turned out she helped me a great deal and got Ben cuddled off to a much needed sleep that he had been refusing all afternoon but desperately needed.



On Saturday it was the Special Care Baby Units Xmas party. Each year 'SCBU' hold an Xmas party for all the families that have been in the unit with their prem babies. This year it was organized by one of the parents, Anna & Ollie and their gorgerous little girl Amelia, who is very cute. The afternoon was a great success and the boys enjoyed it a lot. It was really nice seeing all the nurses and doctors that had cared for Harry & Ben again and they were all impressed with how well they were doing.

Anna & Ollie had organized a little swimming pool filled with soft balls for the little babies and the older children had a small bouncy castle to play in. There was also a circus performer who did juggling and balancing acts and entertained the adults as much as the children.

We all chipped in and brought different food stuffs for everyone else.



The boys were so well behaved and when they got home we let them loose for a good crawl / roll-around to let off some steam.

Ben has now started to pull himself up onto his knees by grabbing onto things.
As you can see from his little look of triumph, Ben things he is really clever being able to do this :-)
