Once upon a time, not so very long ago........

Little Leon was born with a poorly heart. This made his Mummy and Daddy sad and they decided to search for a special friend who would keep Little Leon company and look after him while he was in hospital.............

The Adventure begins..............

Little Leon has fun without Mummy this week.......

Hello!

Little Leons Mummy has been working down in Welsh Wales this week, she has missed Little Leon and Daddy very much, but Leon and Daddy have been having lots of fun together at home.  When Mummy Skyped Leon and Daddy they were looking very sheepish and laughing, which made Mummy wonder what they had been up to.......  The only way that Mummy could get herself motivated to drove five hours and then back again was to have a goal, that goal was looking for a little red Dragon.....




Off to collect the take away on Leons Trike..



So its looking like Daddy and Leon order the take away and Schlepy bear peddles all the way up the road to the shop to collect it and bring it back. Meanwhile the other bears get it delivered by the bear bus......


Morning Mummy, this is my just awake face!
Daddy sends Mummy a daily photograph, this was Leons morning face!  he was asking Daddy where his breakfast was!  Its the messages that keep Mummy going during the week, it was a long week, a long way away.


Cheeky? Meeee....
Little Leon was waiting for Mummy to get home, Daddy was letting him stay up past his bedtime so he could give her a big hug before he went to bed.  Well, he waited and waited, Mummy had to stopped at Tamworth for a coffee and to stretch her legs!  They are quite long....  and at last she was home and guess who she brought with her?  

Hello Leon, put the heating on so I can feel warm when I come to live with you!


Mummy had been dragon stalking in the valleees, she handnt had much luck when she came upon a train depot with a little Engine inside.  She told the engine she was looking for a little dragon to keep  her little boy company, well, it turned out that the little engine was quite famous and had a dragon all of his own.  So, Ivor, that was his name, chatted to Idris who was the little dragon who lived in his firebox, who said his brother was looking for a new warm home.........  So off they went with Little Leons Mummy to see if the little red dragon would want to come to Yorkshire and meet Little Leon.  He did and Mummy tucked him up in a warm jumper and brought him all the way up the motorway to meet Leon.    When Leon saw him he laughed and gave him a beeg hug, he invited him to stay as long as he liked and he could live with the cot bed gang and have a warm bed in the toy box near the warm radiator.  

Tomorrow Little Leon goes to the rugby with Daddy and Mummy, to meet Announcer Phil and some of Daddys friends, they have made a special invitation to Leon to go and have some fun with tham.

Little Leon and the Balloon man!

Little Leon had his balloon angioplasty three weeks ago, that involved putting a wire from a little tiny cut in his groin, up through the femeral artery and into his heart.  Then Mr T put a camera in to see the pulmonary artery, then put a balloon in to blow up a little bit to make it bigger.  Daddy insisted on a scan before they let Leon coome home from hospital to check there wasnt a balloon dog where his heart should be!

when his cousin was told he had been fixed again, she said, will it make him crawl faster........ Well, yes it did, his Mummy is having trouble keeping up with him, she says if it gives you so much energy she is going to book one for herself and Daddy! So Mr Thompson, the balloon man, who doesnt do childrens parties with balloon animals, said that hopefully that should see Little Leon through a couple of years before he needs any more surgical intervention.  This made Mummy and Daddy very happy, and they have done much celebrating with chocolate!
Do I look stuck to you.........!
So Leon has been making up for lost time, he is a one boy havoc machine, he has a particular like for the washing machine, Mummy says he spends his time loading and unloading it!  Not to mention loading and unloading the pan cupboard... oh and banging the pan lids together, and getting a spoon out to bang on the pans........ Daddy is starting to worry that Little Leon will be a drummer and not a guitarist, perhaps they need to send him to stay with Uncle Elcoates?   But not allow him to teach little Leon how to fry eggs..... too risky.......



This is the same size mobile Uncle Tony had years ago....with the same reception!

Little Leon took Uncle Eddy and Mummy and Daddy to lunch on sunday, Daddy paid of course because Mummy had taken Leon to the bank and he had given his spending money to the nice lady, who said she would take care of it in his bank account, but that wasnt before he had been out and chosen a new Coupe Car!   It has a little horn, headlights that rattle and lovely eyes, oh and a little boot at the front to put a dummy or small toy in!  Woo Leon is so proud when he drives around the living room in it.  

This is my new Coupe..... Bruuuuummmmm!
Little Leons mummy is back to work and often goes far far away, but not as far as far away Gramma, she writes letters to Leon and Daddy, telling them about her adventures and also Skypes them in the evening so she can catch up on whats going on with Little Leon.  She is hoping that there is reception in deepest North Wales next week, or it will be a very lonely week for her indeeed.  Little Leon sugested that she needs to take a bit of sewing with her to keep her happy.  He might even sneak a picure of himself in so she doesnt forget what he looks like!  So Daddy will be looked after by Little leon, he is going to make sure he gets his Milky and buscuit for supper and goes to bed at a reasonable time,  Leon too!

Swing me!   Higher, highter......
 So Little Leon has been making the most of his Mummy being at home, visiting friends and seeing Gramma for a  free lunch!  Tomorrow is Gramma and Grandads birthday party, they have a cake with candles, Little Leon says they can only have ten candles because if they put as many on as they really need they will be contravening  a fire regulation!  But Mummy and Auntie Nic will get to see firemen as they come to put out the blaze........ Best not, ten only!

This is how you blow candles out...... Just put your lips together and blow.....


You really think a gate will stop me.......?
Little Leon is going to the rugby at Wakefield on the 11th March, he is going to say Hi to announcer Phil, and Mrs Phil if she is there, he says he has been saving a hug for her because Mummy says she is a lovely lady.  Little Leon likes Laydees!  He is hoping Daddy Cool is there too because Mummy likes Daddy Cool!

Little Leon is taking his Coupe for a spin and says Catch ya later dudes, he is very happy to be feeling so well.  Thanks to all who are sending regular messages and the folks who read his blog, as Vinnie Jones onece said...... its emotional.........
