Feeling sorry for myself (and mummy)

Thursday 4th December 2008

Hi All,

Well a bit of a bad week this week. The week began okay as daddy returned from his travels on Friday. But baby signs was cancelled on Sat as Joyce was ill, so we went out and finally bought some furniture for our balcony. Sunday daddy played football over at Turf City, so me and mummy had a very long leisurely lunch at Horse City (next door). However, this is where the problem began as I got into trouble with mummy for refusing to go to sleep at all all day!!!

Then on Monday, I went back to bed before breakfast which is unusual, then after breakfast and then again before lunch and mummy finally worked out that I was poorly when she got me out of bed and realised I had a temperature and was warm enough to heat the whole of the UK in the snowy weather!! Daddy came home from work to collect his suitcase before heading off to China and between the pair of them they attempted to take my temperature - ha ha very funny, I was not happy at all about them trying to stick things in my ear! They finally worked out it was 38.8, which is hotter than normal - poor me!! My temperature remained until weds morning, but I am still not really well and am far more clingy than normal and believe it or not I am off my food!!!! Except for weetabix, banana and yoghurt, which i am just about managing to munch down.

It does mean though that I have missed my last music class of the term, a play morning at one of the other babies houses (who lives in Seaview so it was quite handy), my swimming lesson and a Christmas Party. We did sneak out for a quick coffee with Hannah and Charlotte though - otherwise I think mummy might have gone mental!!!

Daddy returned home from his travels today though, so missed most of me being ill, although he did keep ringing mummy to check on me and it is a bank holiday this weekend, so I get to spend more time with my daddy - yippee!!! Hopefully, I will be back to normal soon as I have my first birthday party to go to next week - chocolate and cake, mmm think I can feel another illness coming on, watch this space.....
