What are the Kids doing Today

[astarra]

My 6 yr old is home today from school after being up crying next to all night with a sore ear - she is exhusted, I am exhusted...but the other 2 are full of life!   
Just took her to the doc who agreed she has a ear infection - looks like the drum will burst.    No wonder she was in pain.

Oh Astarra that sounds awful. Hope she gets some relief soon.

Oh, Astarra, that sounds nasty.
Hope she gets better soon, and sending you a virtual coffee 
Did she get some good meds?

Wow, my two are playing quietly!!! 
DS and I have just been playing a new game - Rubik's Race, which he thinks is pretty cool, but DD was trying to butt in every 2 seconds (she was happily set up with craft stuff nearby).  I can see that game being a regular activity - totally suits his style of thinking.  Very spatial (or spacey?  )

The poor darling. That would be very painful. Coincidentally (got shifted to kids ward today - not impressed) I was looking after a gaggle of kids that had grommets inserted.

[astarra]

She is on the waiting list to get her 2nd lot of grommets inserted. 
While they were in she was a different kid - no ear probs what-so-ever! 

Thanx for the well wishes - she grinnedwhen she read them but didn't say anything, just snuggled further under the covers.

I hope your dd starts feeling better soon astarra it seems ears and throats are our children's specialty xxx

Astarra, hope she is ok soon. If my DS gets another ear infection, he will have grommets too.

DS is over his super-sleepiness - up at 6.30 this morning (yawn!)
It meant he even had time to play with the Rubik Race again before school.  Love that he loves it - and that he was happy enough to play on his own for a while. 

AND I left DD at kindy this morning with no tears!!! 

So a very good morning so far!

Astarra, I hope the grommets operation comes up soon - don't know what it's like over there, but the wait can be pretty long here, although hopefully with such issues she's pretty high up the list!

school

[astarra]

Thanx again, she seems to be picking up fast which is a good thing. 
Today the kids have had dad to play with them (& give in to them    ) as I had appnts (Glucose fasting test - had to sit there for 2 hrs, nothing to eat since tea last night...little wonder I ended up fainting on them      and other blood tests, then a midwife appnt this afternoon) so DH decided to take the day off to look after them!

[obbie]

so sweet, Hope you are ok now Astarra

[Kimmyh]

Oh Astarra. Are you feeling better now.

Boys fighting which means DS5 is back to his old self again

[obbie]
