what a poorly boy!

What a day we had yesterday! Thomas was fine when we first got up (perhaps a little on the warm side but it was warm!) but by 6.45am her was all over the place! First of all he started crying and just cwouldn't stop, then he insisted on having a cuddle on my lap whilst watching Noddy, I thought he'd been quiet for a minute and when I looked at him he was fast asleep! I thought maybe he needed a little nap but then he started to get very hot and when I tried to wake him so we could go and get dressed he wouldn't wake up. He opened his eyes and promptly shut them again! I let him sleep on me for an hour and then thought I'd best get him in his bed as he was getting so very hot. I tried so many times to put him in his bed but he just started screaming "DUDDLE MUMMY!!" (cuddle mummy) so in the end I took him into our bed and he stayed asleep for another two and a half hours!! This is most unlike him as he is usually desperate to get up and get playing and fixing things. I took him temperature and it was 39.7 s so I gave him some calpol and we played quietly and read books for about an hour then he had a very light lunch and then it was back to bed - our bed!! I know it's wrong and that I shouldn't let him come in our bed but I tried for over and hour to get him into his bed and he looked so tired and unwell that I thought what the hell - he just needs to sleep! He woke up after another two and a half hours and then it was time to call the doctors. The doctor took one look in his mouth and said Tonsillitis...again! So we've got antibiotics and are giving him calpol every three hours to try and keep his temperature down. Thank goodness he seems a lot better today and he's at home with Nana and Daddy....fingers crossed he'll keep getting better and he'll be ok to go to nursery tomorrow.
Keep getting better my scrummy little boy...mummy has missed you such a lot today!!! XXX

Another day in Broadstairs

Today we decided to back to our favourite beach Broadstairs - as Thomas had spent all of yesterday shouting "beeach!" and "diggin!"

We did a ring round and our friends Natalie, Carlton and Cameron could come too, so we set off at 9.00am and were on the beach by 10.00am.

There was a big sea festival in the town with lifeboats, and a band, and a march past and a plane dropping poppy leaves in the sea, so the town was busy.

The skies went grey all round but somehow the sun shone on us.

We all had a lovely time but poor Cameron had very sore eyes and was not quite himself.

Get well soon Cammie !
