This weekend the kids and I and their Lolo did an overnight trip to Bowral to see Aunty Georgia and the cousins. The problem was that poor Carmie was so sick. She could have stayed home with her dad, but she wanted to come. She had a horrible sore throat, was crying from the pain in the middle of the night, threw up one morning, had a fever on and off, and didn't eat for three days. When we got back, Jeff ended up taking her to the hospital to see a doctor, and he just said it was most likely a virus. She is all better now, but she certainly could have had more fun on her weekend away. She had a couple of bursts of energy and got outside to play with Arley a few times, but that was it. Despite Carmie being sick, we had a good time, and will definitely be heading up that way more often.
Little Arley seems to be getting under the weather now, but fingers crossed he will wake up tomorrow morning not sick. They tell me at school that he has been really good, with only a few minor meltdowns, but nothing they couldn't handle. For the most part, he has been much better at home too. He does a fair bit of yelling when he is cross, and he knows how to get under his dad's skin, but also nothing we can't handle. He is also very cute. Every single time we kiss him, he wipes the kiss off. He is talking really well, loves his trains still, loves to paint and read, and follows his sister around everywhere. Also, it is fairly brilliant that not once in his life has he ever gotten out of bed in the morning on his own - he waits quietly for one of us to go in and get him, whether it's 7am or 8am. We've never told him he has to stay in bed. He just does. You can't beat that!
On Wednesday afternoon we picked up Carmie's little friend Hannah from school, and had her over for a playdate. When our friend Nat came to pick her up, she brought Hannah's little brother Ali and they all stayed for dinner. The kids had a blast, even though Arley refused to share any of his million toys. It is so nice that these kids are growing up together :)
