Run-Up to Christmas

IMG_0239
Having Leo's birthday so close to Christmas is a challenge and one we will all have to juggle... I expect the same is true for Riley. It is going to be hard to focus on his birthday and not have every photo taken with a Christmas tree in the background.

This photo was taken on Saturday the 8th of December and only about an hour before Leo and I were sitting in the Teddington Hospital Accident and Emergency room with his screaming the place down with a painful ear infection. One minute he as happily helping to decorate the tree and the next things had degenerated into chaos with him extremely unhappy and in pain.

To cut a long story short the wait was brief (his screaming helped us jump the queue) and we were home in 45 minutes. As soon as he took the pain killers and antibiotic drops etc. he was on the mend.

Shame, that must have been hard. I still remember my ear aches from way back when... Glad that he is better too.

I also remember crying from pain when I was about 16.
Both Leo and Emma look so grown up in this pic
