Just a quick post. We have all had the most awful cold/ flu thing for the past week or so. Edward caught it on the train to Germany, and has progressed from last Sunday's fevers & bad temper, to well over a week of clear interspersed with green snot dribbling out of the Left Nostril Only, unable to breathe at all through his nose, to this morning's River of Green Snot (from Right Nostril - very well done Edward), brought on by my steaming him in the shower. This afternoon he finally stopped being bad tempered and now has a cough. I am giving him German cough medicine (NL only lets babies have homeopathic rubbish) and this at least helps him get to sleep.
Adam caught the germ first from Edward, but he only suffered 5 days or so. I was next to succumb and it has been quite vile. However I have great hopes that I will wake up tomorrow morning and feel better. Ha!
Some nice things have been happening though. I had a lovely day last Wednesday as we had Gabrielle (NZer married to a NLer) and her almost 1 year old daughter Isabelle over for a play. Edward needs to learn to stand up for himself when a girl takes his toys! Ah, but it was lovely.
And then today I had Copper (an American who is married to a NLer) and her little son Maddox over for a play. Edward was quite intrigued with Maddox and even lay next to him on the mat pretending to be a little baby. I love my little man.
Adam is in Houston at the moment. I am (just) managing to keep sane while he is away although why, oh why did our hot water stop working yesterday morning? Thankfully Adam gives great handyman tips on email.
In one week's time we are on holiday in the UK. Hooray!
