Sucessful Operation but may need to Move

Joshua's operation has given us a new boy. It's just two weeks ago, that he went in to have his tonsils and adenoids out and grommets put in. Wow, I can't believe what a different wee lad he is. He struggled with sleep apena due to the size of the adenoids and was really frustrated at times at not hearing and understanding what to call things, plus eating enough to keep a sparrow alive. Now he's eating more then me, sleeping deeply and so happy to be able to name something. Favourite word 'duck'.
I look back with a little disappointment that our doctor 'fogged me off" with it's just another cold, but grateful that God went over the system and got us in on a cancellation with a specialist and two weeks later money was given to cover the operation.
Hence, this ball of energy is keeping me busy reading books as his world has opened up to him, wanting to climb everything that stays still and keeps me constantly in and out of the kitchen finding him things to eat.
What I've learnt through it, is never doubt your God built in sense, that says 'something is not right here' and push, to be heard. It took some sleepless nights and Jay telling me, tell the doctor your concerns till she hears you. So I did.
He turns 2yrs old 5th April and I've invited 8 wee friends and their Mums and hired a rollercoaster from the toy library.
My Mum is coming from the North Island for the week to celebrate with us, so that will be great.

I get my first two kids to care for at the end of the month. James 2yrs old and Jessi 3 1/2yrs old. Looking forward to it. Only for 5hrs, but it's a start and a little extra cash as well.

Our landlord not going to come through with the heating he promised so we may need to move, which is a little upsetting. We've been here 4yrs now and I love the place, but now Joshua is a busy mobile child and the daycare kids, the house is too small to live in only the half that we can afford to heat. Will keep you posted on that one. Just heard that today so need to ask our Father what to do.

Better go and have some lunch. Don't like this season of Grey's much but continue to love Desperate Housewives.
Bye for now.
I need to add a photo will make it the next post.
