hello to all.
been a few days i know, been feeling rather under the weather. doc says its due to my anaemia which i should have been taking iron tablets for but haven't (naughty girl!)
been napping during the day, and crashing out on public transport, but only 3 tablets into the pack of iron i have really noticed a difference. So hopefully i will be right as rain in a few days, and am house bound till Tuesday to recover.
tom crashed out at 4.30 this evening and still hasn't woken up which means i am prob going to up with him all night now, but his teeth are giving him so much jip i just don't have the heart to wake him now he seems comfortable.
he woke at 6.30, played for an hour had a bath and some milk and has settled down again (with some encouragement)
seems to have developed a cough, i think he might be coming down with something, which would explain the sleepiness. poor mite, hes not had a cough before and seems quite shocked each time it starts. it would be funny if he didn't look so pitiful.
yesterday tom worked out how to get the plastic balls in his funfair toy (a slide and mini Ferris wheel that has balls with faces that go in the wheel cradles and down the slide) to go in the top and down the slide. it was so entertaining to watch as he would clap his hands each time it went down the slide and out the bottom. today however he worked out that if he put the ball halfway down the slide instead of the top it came out the bottom much quicker. the first time he did it he was so surprised to get the same end result from two (seemingly) different events that he just sat there and looked at the ball for ages. then he spent 2 hours, yes 2 HOURS, putting it first in the top then halfway down, then back to the top. its was fascinating to watch how impressed he was with the slide, when he hasn't shown alot of interest in it before now despite several attempts from me and Michael to show him what it does. He also had fun putting two balls down one after the other and catching the first one before the second one caught his fingers at the bottom. this frustrated him as he kept dropping one to catch the other and vice versa. so back to the game of top and bottom. LMAO!
On another topic we have had our referral letter for the dietitian, which is good as he keeps getting bouts of diareeah and we cant work out which foods it is setting him off. funnily enough Michael is also being referred due to suspected IBS. to be honest i don't mind what foods they cant eat, it would just be nice to know which ones to avoid, especially as poor tom has terrible nappy rash at the moment, which I'm please to say that a switch in nappy type is actually helping (when i didn't think it would) seems a better fitting nappy is helping keep the moisture away from his skin. that's one thing i love about knowing other mums, the suggestions that you never thought would work sometimes actually do!
right well this has been a dreadfully long entry, however i hope i haven't bored you rigid!
night night xx
