So, this week little Arley came down with a cold, and five days later he is battling tonsillitis. Super fun times. He is a real pleasure to be around when he is sick. Actually, I guess he could be worse, he is just super clingy, and screams and cries if I even go to brush my teeth without him. He seems to be switching between being in very good spirits and being a controlling tantrum-throwing tyrant. I didn't realise that his cold had developed into tonsillitis until his preschool told me yesterday. Bad mummy. He isn't eating a whole lot, but that is not surprising for him, as all he ever wants to eat are crackers. Seriously, the amount of fights we have with him about why he can't have crackers for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is ridiculous. And now he has decided he doesn't like my smoothies either, and they were my go-to for cramming in hidden vegetables. Anyway, I guess I would know if he was really malnourished, although then again, I didn't know he had tonsillitis! But maybe I can be cut some slack, as I have been sick with his cold too :(
This week Carmie's friend Ness came over for another playdate. They had fun, as always, and Vanessa is such a sweet heart, and even packs up her messes when you ask her to (a problem we are having with Carmie these days - she thinks if we have touched the toys, or put them there for the kids to play with, then we are the sole people responsible for packing them away too). The kids also went to Carmie's friend Cassie's birthday party this weekend, and we picked Hannah up from school for a playdate on Wednesday too. So, lots of socialising this week. We also did tons of painting and crafts, and had some good family time. All in all a good week except for me and Arley being sick (again!).
Here is a video of Carmie washing her hands. Yes, it seems like a very mundane thing to film, but you have to see her, it is so funny. And this was the short version, sometimes she washes her hands for five full minutes!
Carmie reading about the female reproductive system!
