Britexan: Ode to Uncle Robbie

I had a couple of great photos of Kate with her Uncle Robbie and wanted to post them up here. Those two have really bonded since Uncle Robbie moved into her room (over two months ago now! I am getting really frustrated with this (now) house purchase). When Uncle Robbie does finally move out, I think they will both be sad.

When Uncle Robbie moved into Kate's room, Kate was a little suspicious but took it in stride (as she does with everything). When he left for work in the mornings, we'd tell her to give Uncle Robbie a kiss goodbye....and she would obediently stick out her cheek and 'allow' him to kiss her (she does that for just about anyone that we spend over an hour with). After about two weeks of Uncle Robbie playing with her in the morning when she woke up, she realised what a good thing she had going! I realised what a good thing I had going at about this time as Robbie always finds her 'Baba' (bunny) for her in the middle of the night! Nowadays Robbie brings her up to our room on his way out (they have him working like a dog!) and Kate runs to give him a kiss goodbye (big, slobbery lips all pursed and everything), and then chatters down the stairs after him when he leaves.

What a change it will be when he goes, and how boring for Kate! Hopefully they will keep their close relationship as she grows up. I'm sure they will if he will only just stop dropping her on her head!
