How to visit your little brother in prison for the first time - by mummy

Saturday 3rd March 2012 was an exciting but terrifying day. After my little brother getting nicked over 2 weeks ago and being put on Remand in Lincoln prison I was going to visit him. I had one of his best friends coming with me. Lee lee had only had my mum and dad visit up until now so wasn't expecting me or Rich to visit. It was an hour journey and dad had warned that it took up to an hour to get through security so I left to pick Richard up with plenty of time to spare so we went for Breakfast together.
Getting to the prison was easy enough and once we found the carpark we went and joined a rather large queue. It was quite nerve racking, i couldnt help but feel we were surrounded by scroats and criminals and we shouldn't have been there. There was notices and security warnings every where and I found myself reading everything in detail. We walked with a big group of visitors through the prison, as I looked up i couldnt help but think 'wow' I was on the inside of a prison, the walls were huge! It then started to feel alot like an airport with the metal detecors and conveyor belt things.
When we finally got through and seated it was not like what you expect from watching television!! It's a big room full of comfy sofa/chairs 3 blue ones sat opposite 1 red one. We was given a table number. After a short wait on the blue chairs and looking round at a room slowly filling with stereotypical criminals and their scroaty familys, lee finally appeared!!! I jumped up but unsure whether I was even allowed to touch him I had to ask if I could cuddle him before I threw my arms round him!! His face was the best picture ever!!!! This big massive (slightly goofy) smile that he couldn't seem to wipe off his face. I knew we had made his day!
Whilst visiting there is a canteen and vending machines so I insisted on filling lee up with crap that he cant get whilst inside, so plenty of chocolate and coca cola! We had alot of questions to ask and got lots of answers to what on earth had gone on but before we knew it the 2 hours had finished and we were told to say our goodbye's. I was gutted to be leaving my little brother to go back and sit in a prison cell surrounded by pick axe murderers and thugs. But I knew he was gonna be ok, he's just like his big sister, positive! He had seen that plenty of good could come of this and he had plenty of motivation. And I knew that Richard and I had made his day.
I love my brother. It was a difficult day but it made me so much happier knowing he was gonna get through it!!!! <3

Down the pub - by Blake

On the Friday morning we got up early enough to go to playgroup, mummy cant take many photos because people complain!

Afterwards we went to the pub for another baby shower. Some one made a cool cake which me and my friends kept trying to stick our fingers in!!

We enjoyed being at the pub, our mummy's thought we looked ever so cute all sat chilling together!!

We were on a balcony so I could see lots of people below us.

Afterwards we went swimming then I went to daddy's for the weekend.



Yummy Mummy curry night - by mummy

On Wednesday the 29th February I got my cousin and her friend to babysit so I could head out for a night out with the other mummies. There was a fair few of us that went for a curry and then some went to the Kings Head (where I work) for drinks. It was a slow start as there was a darts game on but as soon as they left we all got on the dance floor, on the pole and on the kareoke. I didn't got home til gone 2am yet got up up 8am to take my cousin to school in the morning!! Haha!

Feeding the lambs - by Blake

On Thursday morning we got up and took Meg meg to school, mummy looked rough after her night out. When I got home I wanted to go out so I put my scalf on, mummy couldn't stop laughing and told me I was using a dirty tea towel and dish cloth. I didn't care so watched telly!

Mummy got andry when she caught me stealing the cat biscuits, making a mess and eating them! She said my breath smells!

Later on we went to Twinlakes and met some of my friends.

We got to feed the lambs, they were only babies. They drank milk out of a bottle like I did when I was a baby. It made me laugh!

Wednesdays are the best - by Blake

On Wednesday 29th February it was a special day. It was my first ever leap year, I dont know what that is but I pretended to be interested when mummy told me whilst I ate my breakfast!

We went into town and visited Alan and Ray ray in the shop. I snuck off upstairs to have a look at the display bedrooms. Mummy told me not to touch anything.

We then walked to the park. Mummy says it takes ages because I stop to tackle little obsticals on the way!

At playgroup it was warm enough to have the doors open so we all played outside with the toys.



Getting used to my new routine - by Blake

Daddy took me home on the Sunday night and he stayed talking to mummy for a while. He was angry at mummy for some thing but then he left. I like my weekends with daddy but dont like not seeing mummy so I get very upset on Mondays when mummy leaves me at Nanny's to go to work and then again at nursery on Tuesdays. But I'm happy on Tuesday nights when I go to bed because I know I get to spend all of the next day with mummy.



Friday 24th February 2012 - by Blake

On the Friday we had a bit of a lazy morning and mummy made my train tracks.

When we went into town mummy bought me a sausage roll. I love them. I know exactly what they are when I see the brown paper bag and get impatient when mummy says it needs to cool down!

We went to a swimming lesson, I could see people under the wall. Mummy told me to stop checking out the ladies!!!

After Swimming I went to daddy's for the weekend. Daddy got upset and I could hear him on the phone to mummy. He didn't want to take me home. Poor daddy :-(



Thursday 23rd February 2012 - by Blake

I have learnt how to climb so I can look out of the windows. Mummy is always telling me to get down!!

We went for a walk in town and I chased some pigeons, mummy got mad because it was taking so long to get thru town.

We went for lunch at the pub with Alan, Rich and Ray ray.

When we got home mummy said it was warm enough to play in the garden, I was very excited!!

I enjoyed playing with my pet cat, I tried to get him to do some colouring in with me too!

The house phone rang, mummy got very excited in case it was uncle lee lee but by the time she got down stairs I had already answered it!! It wasnt lee lee but mummy was very proud of me!

After bath time I went with mummy to her friends house and I sat and cuddled Marley, he is more than a year younger than me so i had to be careful!



I love thomas - by Blake

On Wednesday 22nd February I went to playgroup as normal, i sat and listened to Gemma read a story with my friends.

After playgroup I helped mummy do the cooking, I had my very own saucepan with rice in to cook!

We had curry so I got in a mess, mummy said i needed extra bubbles in my bath to get rid of the smell!

Mummy got a man to paint me a picture of Thomas and she put it in my bedroom!!! I loved it, it faces me when i go to sleep at night. Thomas is my favourite.

 I watched my Thomas DVD for a bit before bedtime.

Monday 20th February after work I got a friend to babysit and took a drive over to Chris' house to watch a DVD.

My first baby shower - by Blake

After my weekend with daddy he dropped me off to mummy. We was going to a baby shower. My friend Farrah's mummy is having another baby. It was a bit like a birthday party because all my friends were there.

I wasn't feeling very well, I had been for dinner round Great Nanna Whittakers with daddy and he said I was fine but I became very hot at the party and wanted to cuddle mummy lots. She put my favourite game on her iphone which eventually made all my friends come over to see. None of them are allowed to play on their mummy's phone!
