It's been pretty tough the past month or so as we've been a pretty poorly household. thomas cought the nasty bug that made him very sick (usually at night and all his bed and all over me too as he was desperate for me to cuddle him..poor little boy!) then I got it but I also had the upset tummy too and that left me out of action for 2 days, then Simon cought another type of bug that made him freezing cold with headaches and feeling very tired, then Thomas got the sickness bug back...etc etc etc!!! He is such a little trouper though and even when he's poorly he still tries to be happy and to smile for us and even ties to have fun bless his heart! It was Simon's birthday last week and I thought I'd surprise him by putting up "Happy Birthday" banners downstairs and balloons everywhere too, things didn't quite go to plan as Thomas was very sick in the middle of the night so Simon had to come downstairs to clean things up, he saw everything and my surprise was gone..oh well never mind! The main thing was that Thomas got better and Simon had an ok day, even though he was knackered and at work!! Last night we went out for a few drinks with a few friends and it was so good to go out and to see them all. Paul, we are thinking of you and your family a lot and hope things get a bit easier every day...x! Thomas has a cold and nasty cough at the moment so I was worried about leaving him (and no mum - not because I don't trust you because you know I do!!) as I had visions that he's wake up and it would be a terrible evening for my parents! But we came home and they'd not heard a peek from him...brilliant!! Well until we went to bed and then he woke up..of course!! I tried to get back to bed but everytime I put him in his bed he coughed a lot and woke himself up...bugger! After an hour (!!!!) I'dhad enough and was cold and tired so I asked Simon to take over and luckily it only took him 10minutes!
Today we went to Natalie and Carlton's flat for a play date with Cameronbear...and Maria, Jonathan and Reuben were there too which was a lovely surprise!! We've not seen any of them for at least two months so it was really great to see them and catch up. Natalie had even cooked a tasty apple crisp dessert which was thomas friendly, how very kind Natalie it was so very appreciated that you thought of Thomas and bought foods especially for him!! It was very tasty too so please can you send me the recipe? I have taken their comment on board and got round to doing the blog....Thanks for a lovely afternoon and we'll have to do it again when you're back...so next year then!! Have a great time back home and I'll keep an eye on the blog! Here are a few photos of our gorgeous little boys sitting together on the sofa. Thomas / Cameron / Reuben
