Blood Pressue

Hi sweetie

News from my course is that I learned how to measure blood pressure the other day. I've been practising on Daddy and Uncle David, you like the look of my spygh and keep putting it around your arm.

Today you were at Gran's house. Mum and Dad went to pick you up about 4 o'clock, we rang the outside buzzer twice and noone answered so we went around to the balcony to see if anyone was home. I could see Gran kneeling on the floor and thought she might have been stuck (she's got stuck a couple of times and had to pull herself up on the couch!) I jumped over the balcony and opened the door and gave Gran a fright. It turns out she was fine, you had just put her buzzer system on silent earlier so she didn't realise that we were there!

You are enjoying playing with your trains at the moment and had to pack 4 of them in your bag to take to Gran's house today. Gran said you had to take them out with you when you went to the shops later.

I'm going to go and run your bath now since it's bedtime.

Nursery

Dear Aidan..

A quick update from today. You went to nursery all day while Mum and Dad were at uni, you were excited about going this morning. Daddy walked you there and said you kept shouting 'Nursery!' the whole way. When you seen the building you got a bit upset but were happy to see the ladies in the baby room. You went out a walk with the other babies today then you were in the soft play room singing nursery rhymes when Mummy and Daddy came to pick you up.

Nana bought you a new toybox at the weekend with lots of drawers for you different toys. You love it because you get to see lots of toys that were at the bottom of your toybox before. Tonight you were playing with all your Thomas the Tank Engine trains, making them crash into each other. You know the names of Thomas, Percy and James at the moment.

Cuddles, Mummy. x

Avoiding Studying

Dear Aidan,

Here we are, I've started uni now. My first test is tomorrow so I stumbled across this blog in my attempts at delaying studying so thought I'd update.

I think I'll need to do it gradually since it's been a long time.

Similarly to last time I wrote you are a bit ill at the moment. Since you started nursery (14th Sept) you have had a cough that's not shifting then on Friday morning your eyes were stuck together. Daddy managed to get you a Drs appt for the afternoon which meant we had both finished uni and could go. The Dr was running 50 minutes late so you were quite hard work to entertain in the waiting room although you were entertaining an old lady who kept speaking to you.

The Dr gave you eye drops and said you have conjunctivitis and some anti-biotics to get rid of your cough. You weren't very happy when he was checking you over and kept saying 'bye bye' to him in the hope that we would leave.

Giving you eye drops is quite an experience - and not a very pleasant one!

I was a little bit heartbroken when you started nursery recently and cried throughout your whole settling in period. It's gradually got better and although you don't like being dropped off you seem to have a good time while you are there. You like to tell us about the 'ladies' and 'cars' that you see there :)

Funny things you do at the moment are hide then jump out and shout 'There he is!', you also tell everyone to 'be careful' or 'watch your fingers' if they are walking downstairs or closing a drawer.

I'll try to keep updating as much as possible now I've found this again!

Lots of love, Mummy. x
