He wasn't 100% yesterday for is party, though he did pick up towards the end of the day. He was pretty miserable all morning which we suspect was due to him bottoming out with his neutrophils. I was considering disinfecting everyone before they came through the door to make sure they weren't carrying any bugs, but I was otherwise occupied most of the time. He seemed to enk=joy spending time with everyone though. Understandably he was pretty overwhelmed by all the colourful toys, paper and decorations, but he sat and played with some of the family for a while without either of us being near by,which was a pleasant surprise.
We have enjoyed having the day to play with him and introduce him to more of his toys. He has taken to his trolley with wooden blocks, and is enjoying the hammer his Nanna bought him. We are currently seeking legal advice as to whether the Fremantle Docker's gifts his Uncle jarrad and Aunty Aimee bought qualify as some form of child abuse:) Needless to say, our loungeroom is quickly filling up with toys, and Christmas is only 6 weeks away.

Great Aunt Tatey has been sick most of the times we've had family do's and so hasn't been able to come around. This time she was in Broome. This photo was taken last weekish while she read Oliver 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. Thanks Gatey.

What a party!The star theme was terrific with so many colourful ones hanging around,Karli's star shaped birthday cake and the star sparklers were a big hit with the kids!
Even though Olly was a little overwhelmed and not full of his usual smiles and giggles it was wonderful for those of us who've shared the last few months to be able to celebrate with Karli,Simon and their little "star". For people who'd not seen him in a while it was a chance to say hello and see that despite all those awful drugs he's wanting to do the normal things like bang a hammer(this one makes 8 different sounds), play with blocks and walk.(Was a bit scared of the sound of wrapping paper being ripped from a present - maybe a memory of an hospital ordeal?)
Simon spent a good proportion of the afternoon putting together gifts with his trusty screwdriver, and still managed to cook up some delicious meat in the Weber for tea.
As for the Docker presents even I love the black bomber jacket he can wear next winter. The Eagles signed football from Gatey was kicked around as promised so the score is pretty even so far!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER SCOTT ROEBUCK - my little man.
Love you sooo much. Nanny Noel xo
Yay! We celebrate with you. He is precious and brave. Will email you soon so we can maybe meet for a little boys' picnic sometime.
I'm a little bit late but i'd like to wish to Oliver a great "second" year to come!
We miss you so much!
