I cannot believe that Mummy & Daddy have not updated this blog in almost 4 months! That's disgusting!!!! I know Daddy works and Mummy shops and plays with me but REALLY, that is NO excuse. I overheard Grandi telling Mummy off today for not updating the blog so I thought I had better do it myself, not that I really know where to begin.
Daddy has a new hobby - scuba diving. Mummy has said between the planes, the radio's and now diving - NO MORE HOBBIES! I agree, especially if it means he is out on the weekends. I don't like that at all. I can only handle so many days at home with just Mummy - hehehe, don't tell her I said that - I really am only just kidding :)
My poor Poppy got really really sick in May, so Daddy said to Mummy "Princess, you've gotta go home to see him!!!" So Mummy booked a flight to Sydney (and then one from Sydney to Adelaide) on Monday night and we were on the plane the next morning! I went to bed and the next morning my bag was packed and we were on our way to the airport. We arrived in Sydney VERY early on Wednesday (after me only sleeping 2.5 hours of the 14 hour direct flight) then we caught our next plane arriving in Adelaide Wednesday lunchtime. Grandi & Granddad picked us up from the airport and took us straight to the hospital to see my Poppy. I was a little scared when we got there - he didn't look himself in a hospital gown sitting up in bed. I didn't want to cuddle him at first so Granddad took me for a walk and I found some fish in a tank. Mummy didn't want to leave the hospital (or her Daddy) but I was so tired and Mummy must of been exhausted because after about 2 hours Poppy said "Go home and get some rest and get Patrick sorted". I don't know quite what he meant by that but I was happy to be leaving the hospital by that time - I even waved and gave Poppy a kiss and cuddle goodbye!
All of us were staying at Aunty Jodie's with her & Jasmine, as Grandi & Granddads house was a little small because I really need my own room (I sleep better this way.) Mummy slept in with Aunty Jodie which I thought was funny - lucky Daddy isn't the jealous type! Poppy was allowed out of hospital for a few days before his operation the next Tuesday. Grandi & Granddad went back to their place so that Poppy could stay at Aunty Jodie's with Mummy & I as the Doctors said he had to stay in Adelaide. We had a nice weekend :)
Poppy's operation was scheduled for Tuesday and he was 2nd on the list. We got to the hospital at 7:15am and Poppy didn't go in for his surgery until 3:15pm - that's 8 hours of waiting at the hospital as Mummy REFUSED to leave him. There was an emergency with the lady before him which is why we waited soooooooooooo long. I was a big brave boy and stayed and played with Grandi & Granddad and Aunty Jodie, who had taken the day off work to come and support Mummy and help entertain me a bit. She bought me a really cool Bob the Builder pop up book which we read LOTS of times. Once Poppy went in for his operation Mummy said it was time to go home - she knew I needed some time to play and then dinner and bed. Poor Mummy - she was trying so hard to be strong so I didn't get upset but I did catch her crying on a few occasions........ After I had dinner and was in the bath (Jasmine usually bathed me - we had such fun splashing with the bubbles) Mummy said that she had spoken to the hospital and that Poppy was in recovery. I didn't know what that was but it must of been good because she was smiling for the first time the whole day. I was really tired cause I didn't sleep long while at the hospital so I went to bed a little earlier. The next day Mummy told me that she and Aunty Jodie and Grandi had gone to the hospital to see Poppy after he was back in the ward and she said he was doing really well - what a relief!
We went to s
ee him first thing that morning - and he was walking around looking great as if nothing had happened apart from a huge white bandage on his neck..... He even helped me with a fruit sachet!!! Poppy got out of hospital on the Thursday afternoon and then went back to Port Augusta with Nanny on Saturday.
On Sunday I got to have a visit with Grandma & Poppy (Daddy's parents) which was fun. I think they were even happier to see me than I was to see them :) We spent the afternoon playing and watching the football - it was great. Sunday afternoons was my special time with them.
Mummy & I visited Great Grandma and Great Grandpa a few times - Grumpy is doing really well in the nursing home and is quite happy :-) He loved seeing me - I even sat on his lap and had a cuddle with him. Great Grandma is so cool, she let me ride on her walker - she goes a little slow but since she is 91, I can forgive that.
Mummy & I spent 5 days up in Port Augusta with Poppy & Nanny which was good as Nanny had to have an operation on her arm so Mummy helped out a little bit. I got to see Jorja & Annie and give them their birthday presents and I got to open mine early. It was a little people's speedway racer, although Mummy said we needed to leave it in Australia for when we get back. While we were in Port Augusta we found out that our dearest Aunty Betty passed away. It was so sudden and unexpected and such a huge shock but she didn't look like herself when we saw her a week or so earlier and I don't think she would of wanted to stay in that condition very long. Grandi & Mummy wrote a long letter to read at the funeral - Mummy said it was called a Eulogy.
Aunty Kalee and Uncle Ben also had some very bad news which made us sad, (Mummy cried then too) - so really, most of the month was sad, although there were some good bits too like seeing all my Grandparents and some of our friends.
On our way back to Dubai we had to stop off in Sydney so Karen, Mummy's friend and one of her bridesmaids in hers and Daddy's wedding, came to pick us up from the airport with her cute lil baby - Xander. We went to their house for a while to have a play, a bath and dinner before going back to the airpor to go on the HUGE A380 back to Dubai. It was such a cool plane - shame Daddy missed out - hehehe. I was a really really good boy on the plane, I slept about 8 hours, only stirring a few times to get comfortable. Mummy was pleased as she was tired too and needed a chance to relax a bit, not that she slept much because I was sleeping on her and she was uncomfortable trying to make sure I was comfortable! Once we got back into Dubai all I wanted was my Daddy. Mummy said we would see him as soon as we got our bags. This took aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages because they accidently sent my carseat and pram to the transit area so we had to wait almost an hour to get it back. FINALLY we got to get out of the airport and see my Daddy. He was waiting for me but was on the other side of a clear sheet of glass so I had to walk, actually run, for a long way till I could get to him - he ran alongside me until I could jump into his arms and that was in - I WASN'T LETTING GO!
We went home and had lots of family cuddles - we all missed each other so much and for Mummy and me, it was a very emotional month. Daddy filled us in on what he had been doing while we were away, such as work, diving and getting his UAE amateur radio license. His call sign is A65BO. I was so proud of him. He aced a really hard exam for work too which was awesome!
There was a HUGE box waiting for me at home from Grandi & Granddad - my Chistmas presents which were accidently sent by seamail over 6 months earlier! We thought they were lost so it was a nice suprise cause I LOVE opening presents. I was so tired that Daddy put me to bed for a little while. He promised me that he would be there when I woke up - and he was.
The next big thing that happened was Mummy and Daddy started sorting through all our things, throwing things out, putting things in piles and then all these crazy people started showing up to take away our furniture! Daddy explained to me that we were moving house and leaving Dubai to go back to live in Australia. I didn't care what we were doing - I just wanted our stuff back and my house back to normal! Once the stove had gone Daddy suggested to Mummy that we leave and live somewhere else as it was too hard to live their without it. I wouldn't be able to have my pasta or eggy toast which for me would be the end of the world! Mummy and I found a new place to live - it is only a one bedroom but it is really nice. We all had to adjust to sharing one room again but we have and it is good.
Our beautiful apartment is now completely packed up, the boxes gone and Daddy handed the keys back today :( It is sad but I cannot wait to move into our own house in Sydney - Mummy and Daddy have promised me a backyard!!!
Oh, one more quick thing before I go - I AM TWO IN 12 DAYS TIME!!! Mummy is planning a Cheeky Monkey party for me with a party planner. They are stuck on a venue at the moment but I know they will get it sorted and it will be awesome fun. I'll tell Mummy to post some photos when she downloads them.
Don't forget to check out the new facebook album links too - Mummy has done more albums :-)
Love, squeezy hugs and smoochy kisses to you all
