Jose goes on a special trip to visit Ella in England
I Flew on this airplane from Jacksonville Airport to Chicago and then I took an even bigger plane to Heathrow Airport in London England. I was asked to go back to England with Ella’s Family to visit with them as Ella had been sick with a really bad cold. You see, Ella has Rett Syndrome and she needs lots of special care and if she catches a cold it is really bad for her. I couldn’t wait to visit Ella’s School as her Mum had told me that there would be all kinds of fun things to do there. I had to fly all night to get there and when we arrived it was morning. I had flown all night. The ride to Ella’s house was 20mins by car. They drive quite fast there but I did get to see some pretty flowers blooming on the way. I think they were Tulips and Daffodils.
The next morning Ella’s Mummy (or Mommy) woke me up early and gave me a Jumper (or Sweater) to wear for School Uniform. The children at Ella’s School Heritage House have to wear a uniform.
Ella was feeling better and ready to show me her School and her friends. We rode on her special bus. I sat on her lap as she sits in a chair with wheels. Ella can’t use her muscles to walk very well. It was good fun sitting on her lap as she gave me lots of hugs. I told her that her aunt in Jacksonville had asked me to send her lots of hugs and kisses!
Ella showed me this special chair. It tilts back so that you can sleep in it if you want to.
It was time to go swimming! I thought it would be too cold for me as I am so used to hot weather in Jacksonville so I was asked to be the life guard.
I could tell that Ella loves to swim. When Ella likes something she will lift her eyebrows up. Ella doesn’t talk like I do she has her own special language. She smiles with her eyes.
I was given a drink in a really cool cup. It was very easy to drink up that yummy juice. I didn’t spill any of it.
I played with all of Ella’s friends and we all had a turn with this bubble machine. The best part was about to happen.
Happy Birthday Ella! I was so glad to be invited to Ella’s ninth Birthday party at school.
Ella had nine candles. We all sang Happy Birthday. It was the same tune and I knew all the words. The cake was a delicious Chocolate Cake. I had to have a second piece!
After cake Ella played with the sensory toys. She loves feathers.
As the weather was so nice we went outside in the pretty garden to have water play. I loved sitting on Ella’s lap as she kept giving me hugs. I think she liked me being with her on her Birthday. I will go back for a visit when I go back to England. Ella’s teachers are very kind.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to Englad. I am pleased that the weather behaved its self as we are well known for having rain! Its such a shame that I live so far away in Devon and that we couldnt meet up. maybe if you are coming back you could let me know and I will try to have time off from my class and meet you. We could talk all kinds of beary things! Does Ellas school have a bear that we could chat to? Its always nice to have new friends. Well say hi to Ella for me.
