On Monday morning the girls and I got up early and drove to London Heathrow Airport to pick up Aunty Laura and Kobe. Laura ended up arriving a little early and we got delayed on the highway because of an accident and rainy weather so we ended up being a little late - which turned into a lot late when I went to the wrong terminal!! We couldn't contact each other because Laura's phone didn't work and she couldn't work out how to call my mobile (because she has only ever called it from USA with different dialing codes!) Anyway - I finally worked out that she must be at the new terminal, which is quite a fair way from terminal 1 2 & 3! And whilst heading there I got a call from Dad to confirm that's where Laura was waiting! When we finally got there Laura was freezing and Kobe was asleep, I think Laura was very glad to see us! We stopped at a roadside services so the kids could get out and have a short break from being stuck in the car. I got them each a magazine (or MAZAGINE as they both call it!!) to entertain them on the long drive back home. They had fun playing with Kobe as well, and trying to pick up his toys when he would drop them!! The girls were so good though, because we were pretty much in the car for 7 hours. Kobe was a very good boy too and woke up for a little while and then went back to sleep!
After some settling in time and dinner we gave Kobe his birthday present because he turned 1 just a few days before his big trip!
{He had fun watching the girls open them!!!}
Kobe was very happy and made himself right at home in no time! He is such a cutie and is walking so well... and climbing.... and opening cupboards.. and pulling things off shelves! We found that our home is not so much baby and toddler proof anymore! Mmmm.... we had forgotten what it's like to have a cute little 1 year old around!!
