Hiya!
Been to Cornwall for a few days - three nights of sharing a room with both children. First night was awful - kids weren't too bad, but DD did a lot of coughing (in her sleep) which kept me and DH awake, then I couldn't get comfortable on my sister's firm mattress, then DS wouldn't resettle.....Second night was pretty good (various changes, including decamping to another room were put into place!), third night not great as DS was wakeful again and not wanting to settle in the early hours.
But otherwise, it was a bit of a sanity saver - my DSis is one of those made-to-be-a-mother types with four kids who are all lovely and fab with DD and DS - her togetherness as a parent (and my DBIL's) rubs off a bit, I think!
And DD has been properly phobic about the wind, but by Wed pm, she was outside without a coat and fine about it (back to being phobic the next day, though...)
End of school hols for DH tomorrow - probably just as well as DD has been winding him up ever tighter, I think he needs a bit of space from her.
DS hasn't been quite his sunny self these last couple of days - I'm pretty sure he's teething, his top gum seems rather inflamed and I can see the white beneath it. Looks like three or four are all on their way at once, which would explain it. He settled down after a wee dose of ibuprofen this evening, poor mite.
I'm pretty much better now, thankfully!!
Very impressed with how qualified everyone is and the range of interesting jobs people have/have had. What an impressive bunch we are!
