Dear Daddy,

It's been really hot here for the last week! We have played outside a lot. Mummy topped up our sand table and I still love playing in there although Molly keeps taking handfuls and dumping them on the ground. My chicken pox are a lot better now and have all gone scabby. Mummy says I can play with other children again now, so I'm probably going back to school today.

Yesterday Sienna came over to play and we walked to the BX and Mummy got me some more playdough. We've been playing with our play dough machine a lot.

Dear Daddy,

On Monday Jodie, Sienna, Kai, Mummy, Harriet, Molly and me went on the train to London Zoo! Mummy got lost on the way to Ely station - we ended up near Newmarket - poor Mummy, she isn't good with directions. We did make it in time for our train though, so that was good. We had a great time and saw lots and lots of animals. When you come back I want to go with you too Daddy!

On Wednesday of this week I didn't feel well. I went to school but they told me that Mummy that I'd been very quiet and that I hadn't smiled all day. At bed time Mummy noticed that I had a spot on my side - it looked a bit like a blister and we thought that maybe I had chicken pox as 8 children at school had it. On Thursday morning we didn't have to wonder anymore - I had lots of spots! On Friday and had even more and on Saturday and today I have over 300spots. I have them on the palms of my hands, soles of my feet, on my gums and the inside of my cheeks. They are super itchy -especially the ones on my head.

Mummy is wondering when Molly will catch them.

Daddy, we're missing you so much. Not long now though. We cant wait to see you.

Dear Daddy,

Sorry that we havent been good at updating this. Our internet has been VERY rubbish and we've also been very busy. When im not at school im usually on a playdate with Thomas, or Kai and Sienna.

Molly has been saying lots and lots of new words and using the potty a lot. She keeps telling me 'Daddy gone' but I already know that.

My behaviour hasn't been very good lately. Mummy thinks that ive turned into a drama queen since turning four. I think that maybe I actually AM a drama queen. I like to take forever to get my shoes on when we leave the house, I often like to cry and protest.

Here is me and Molly yesterday - in our dressing up clothes. Sienna gave Molly her fairy dress.

We miss you Daddy

Dear Daddy,

This weekend it has been nice and sunny, which makes a nice change after all the rain we have had. Yesterday we stayed at home in the morning and in the afternoon we went to Jodie's house and I got to play with Kai and Sienna-Faye. They have lots of cool toys!

Today we went to see Grandad, George and Jo for a while and then spent the rest of the day at Nana's house as she had a BBQ. I got to play with lots of different people including my bestest friend Jimmy. Molly had a good time too.

Here I am combing my owl's feathers with Molly's baby's comb. I love my owl!

Hurry home Daddy, we really, really miss you :-(

Dear Daddy,

This weekend we went to see Grandad and Nana Jo on Sunday. I stayed with Grandad while Mummy took Molly to Spotted Giraffe play barn for a baby party. I helped him make the concrete and pour it to make a new floor. I was VERY good boy. Yesterday it was Bank Holiday Monday and we went for a walk in Santom Downham. Gradad, Jo and George came too! After that we went to play at Thomas' house.

Today I went to school and I was very good as always. My teacher told Mummy how I am such a kind boy.

Molly has started using lots of words. She doesnt call me 'Maa' anymore. She now calls me 'Sham'. Here we are eating icecream. I was very sneaky and got it down myself from the freezer and helped Molly eat some. Mummy found us and took a photo!!

Dear Daddy,

This week has been rainy - again! the river near Grandads is REALLY high and a bit overflowing! I have had a good week at school and before school on Thursday I got to play with Sienna Faye - I REALLY like her! ;-)

On Thursday afternoon I went to the doctors on base to check I didn't have a UTI. It was rubbish and took 45minutes. Mummy was getting VERY frustrated.

Last night, after school, we went all the way over to Granddad's to George's party! There were lots of people for me to play with and I ate jelly and cake for dinner!

 Here is mama and Molly!

Here we are with the bricks AGAIN! Mummy ordered me some new ones from the Internet! I have SO many now. Id still really like the firetruck set though. Molly is playing with the new stroller that Jodie, Sienna and Kai got her for her birthday! She LOVES it.

We have all really missed you this week Daddy as we haven't been able to speak to you very often! :(
