Little Leon and Mama Moo........

This morning, early, before Little Leon was stiring and Mummy and Daddy were still snoozing, Charlie bear sneaked downstairs and switched on Daddys PC...........

Now which button is for on......?

In the night while Leon was asleepy Cow and Mini Moo had been talking to the Cot Bed Gang, Cow and Moo love staying with Little Leon and the Cot Bed Gang, but they miss thier Mummy.......  The bears have Miss Schlepp to look after them, the rabbits have Hoppy Bunny Leon has Mummy and Daddy, but Cow and Moo were feeling a bit lonley.


Cow and Moo missing Mama Moo......

So Charlie Bear, switched on Daddys PC and started to search..... Mama Moo, well he looked at Twitter, Facebooky, farm family, local farms, looked at Milkey sellers......  Yorkshire show site and cow boys..... er no, that was something totally different...........  Eventually he found who he thought he was looking for.........

Mmm, cakey........

So, Charlie Bear picked up the phone..... it rang and rang and then suddenly a voice said.... Hello, Mama Moo here..... Well, Charlie was so happy, he explained that Cow and Moo had been adopted from Farmer Copleys Farm. But they missed their Mama Moo.....  Mama Moo was thrilled, it was a nasty farmer who had taken Cow and Mini Moo and given them to a albert...arbor.... abberrrt anyway, somewhere Cows and Mini Moos shouldnt go!   That would explain why Cow doesnt like the butchers shop.......   But Farmer Copley had come and rescued them with all thier friends and let them live in his farm shop, so that families could come and adopt them......

So, knowing that her little Cow and Mini Moo where safe......... What will Mama Moo do next.......

Cow and Mini Moo tucked up safe and sound..

Cow and Mini Moo are looking after Little Leon, the cot bed gang are planning another midnight phone call........   They are also raiding the Growls money box and Noel is planning a trip out in the Coupe........... What does that all mean..........?

Little Leon visits Albert Dock...

Today has been a lovely day for Little Leon, he took Cow and Moo to Albert Dock in Liverpool to see some boats.

Cow in a Mini!

There were big boats, little boats, boats with sails, boats without, boats with people in and boats with people out.  The loud man on the microfone said that there will be a Pirate weekend on the 20th and 21st July..... Avast said Little Leon! So he might be going back!

I said no pictures please, Superhero Incognito!

He also saw a fabulous stunt plane performance and they finished off after looping the loop, flying upside down, criss crossing and going back and forwards with a beautiful great big heart!  Leon was thrilled Daddy had arranged that.......... Daddy was a little surprised as well! 

Ive been driving in my car...... its not quite a jaguar...... Rarrr!

Then it was back down the dock side to get Mummy a coffee and some cake.  Mummy has fallen and hurt the ligaments in her foot, so she is having to sit and rest it a lot.  If you know Little Leons Mummy you will know she doesnt like sitting and doing nothing!

Cow having a Marylin moment on the blower......

Part of the reason for that is that she is setting up a small workshop so she can make more lovely things.  www.leonsheart.com    soon there will be more bears and bags and wonderful things to see on the website, so keep checking back, Christmas really isnt that far away if you are wanting a little bit of hand made something different.

Me and Daddy and Mummy!

Daddy is trying to watch the Grand Prix with little Leon munching crisps and yapping!  Poor Daddy!

See how you like it when someone does it to you.... Its tough being cute you know!

Sneaky peek at Mummys bag styles :D

 and finally..........

Be yourself, be true to yourself, follow those dreams, but not the one where you are naked in the middle of a motorway!

Love from Leon, Mummy and Daddy xxx

Little Leon sends a letter........

 

 

Dear Bruce Keogh and Rodger Boyle,

 

My name is little Leon, Im two years old.  I was born in December 2010.  Mummy and Daddy had waited for me for a long long time.    At three hours old I was diagnosed with a poorly heart, within 24 hours I was tucked up nice and warm in a cot at Leeds General Hospital with Dr Sam scanning my chest with a scannythingamabob and trying to reassure my very frightened Mummy and Daddy that Tetralogy of Fallot, PDA with a really narrow pulmonary artery wasnt going to kill me immediatly and that they would still get to hug and kiss me goodnight.  I was in hospital for three weeks and Dr Thomson let me come home to the cot bed gang on Christmas Eve.     That was Mummy and Daddys best christmas present ever.

 

I deteriorated very quickly in May 2011 and Mr Watterson kindly repaired my heart, it took him 14 hours and for a man of such skill to tell my Mummy and Daddy that it was 'complex' when he got inside my chest made them realise that we were all very lucky to be treated by the staff at Leeds.  By co incidence Mr Watterson also repaired my Grandad Dons heart 20 years ago too.  Since then I go regularly to see my Nursey laydees and the Doctors who scan my chest and listen to my heartbeat, this helps Mummy as she gets very anxious at times that she will loose me.  Dr Thompson put a balloon in my pulmonary artery to try and make it bigger, so I can play with my friends and not feel worn out, he also said it would stop it perishing and 'popping' off.  

 

This is me and my Daddy... oh and Thomas the bear.



I want you to know that what has happened to Leeds over the past week has worried so many Mummys and Daddys, my heart buddies have been very frightened that their surgery has been cancelled or put off for longer.  It was very poor timing that it all blew up over a four day bank holiday with no one around to reasure us all that everything would be ok.   While no one wants children to die, of anything, not just CHD, we need a more robust system that is proporly looked at and not panicking us all.

This is Mummy and Me having fun on the sofa

Please look at my photographs and those of my heart buddies, walk a mile in our Mummy and Daddys shoes, see how it is from our point of view.  We should be saving lives not saving face......

Please dont break my heart.

Little Leon

Little Leons big Update!

Well its been a little while since Leon and his Mummy have updated! Mummy gets told off a lot by Leon for that!

At the beginning of November, Little Leon went to visit his nursey ladies again, Dr Brown scanned him with the scannythingamabob and said that she was very happy with Leons heart and wouldn't need to see him for a whole SIX months! Progress indeed! That will give Leon time to work on how to swap his plastic stethoscope with Dr Browns posh one!

Beep Beep!

Also, on the first of November Mummy and Little Leon started a business together! Woo! It is called Leons Heart and will be used to raise funds and awareness for Childrens Heart Charities and give Mummy something to do with all the little crafty things she makes during the year! you can find the website, which is work on progress as Mummy likes to say about things she doesnt do well..... www.leonsheart.com or on Face Book, just look for Leons Heart! Leon has been making personal appearances at craft fairs to help boost his street cred!

On to December, Little Leon has lost count of how many times he has met Santa! Woo he really likes to check on if you have been naughty or nice! He had a fabulous time at the Dreamtime Baby Massage party, Mummy and Sarah are planning an Easter Eggstravaganza party! Watch this space for more details!! Then on to the Santa train with Daddy and Grandad, Leon wasnt feeling very well that day, but enjoyed the trip with God Mummy Sarah and Lil T. Santa gave him an aligator jigsaw!

Leon Racing Driver!

It couldnt be Daddy could it......

Mummy and Daddy nominated Leon for a Champion Child award with the Wakefield Express, he was given a lovely plaque for being brave, he is very proud of it and keeps it on his craft table.  He had a lovely day and watched Cinderella!  He got a kiss from Claire Frisby from the telly and Cinderella, Cinders didnt kiss Daddy, she said he wasnt small or cute enough!  Poor Daddy!! 

Little Leon is into his big boy bed as he keeps trying to climb over the top of his cot!  Despite the cot bed gang hanging onto his jama bottoms!  Trouble is he keeps getting out of bed and Daddy finds him snoozing on the carpet!!!

Little Leon has had a lovely Christmas and New year, Uncle Tony cooked lunch, Santa had visited and brought lots of presents, Little Leon was a bit overwhelmed by it all so he only opened one or two at a time, woo ! he had fun, his favourite so far is a Mega Block dumper truck, he can get anything in the back of that!!   Then on Boxing day he invited his cousins and family to a not very surprise birthday party for Daddy! 

And so Little Leon is wishing all his friends and family lots of love and best wishes for 2013, Mummy is going to write with his adventures more often, there has been a couple of additions to the Cot bed gang, the famous Charley bear has joined the gang and is on snuggle duty this week. Heff the Elephant a friend of Thomas is here too.   It is getting a little crowded in there!

Lots of Love, Mummy Daddy and Little Leon xxx
