Lotties Star

(Nanny Ali, this will make you cry... just a warning!)

We had a lovely BBQ at Nanny and Koro's house on Saturday, after Rogie and Koro spent the afternoon watching Casino Royale, and me (Sam), Rune, Rio, and Nanny Ali all went SHOPPING! It was a beautiful day, really hot, so we spent most of the evening in the garden, running around with Rune and the football that found its way into the garden! Rune went round the side of the house, down near Lotties little wee-wee pound, and asked where Lottie was.. stifling the tears and trying to sound as casual as possible, I told him that Lottie fell asleep, grew wings, and went to live in the sky. He was a bit confused by that, but was happy to blow kisses into the sky with me and say "Love you Lottie". He soon busied himself with the football again after that.

On the way home, dusk was closing in, and there was one star shining bright. Rune spotted it and said "Look Mummy, Look Daddy, a star!" ...so we both looked for it, and Rune started blowing it kisses and saying "love you Lottie, love you mwah mwah" ...so we have named that Lottie's star. Every evening, the first star that comes out - the one that shines really bright - thats Lotties star, and we blow it kisses.

We love you, Lottie! :)

...and to end on a different subject, the Plunket nurse visited us on Monday, Rio wouldnt stop smiling at her, even though I had to wake her up for her check! She's such a little show off! She weighs 11lb 10oz, and is on the 70th percentile. At this age, Rune was on the 20th percentile because my breast milk was failing him miserably. So I think it is safe to say that everything is going absolutely swimmingly with little madam! She's such an easy little baby :)
