Hi all
Nathan's eyes are definitely on the mend. But he has a snotty cold now, and a nasty cough, and he is teething. And he has no appetite grrr I do not want to see that tummy disappear again. He is happy enough nibbling cream crackers and rich tea biscuits though, but the crackers make him cough
Heard from A (who came to the meetup) that I should really apply for Disability Living Allowance, which I had been telling myself Nathan did not qualify for, guess a bit of denial there. It is a loooong form where you have to give the same information over and over again to show that Nathan needs more help/supervision than other kids of his age. We will see what they see. Will tackle the rest of the form tonight.
Love all the assertions of independence in the food department. Would love to peer in all your kitchens . Nathan loves broccoli. He was 'helping' me cook yesterday (aka sitting in his bumbo messing with serving trays twice his size ) and when I turned back from the cooker he had managed to lift a whole head of broccoli to his mouth with one hand and was chewing it , so cooked him a few pieces in the microwave. A boy so desperate for his greens needs to be rewarded.
By the way spoke to my 'absconder' today and what he felt unable to tell my colleague (not always the most understanding type) is that his son went into hospital on the anniversary of the death of his first child . Needless to say no disciplinary from me!
