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

Illness and a night out!

Dear Aidan

We have both been ill for over a week now. Thankfully we seem to be over the worst of it. We both had a trip to the GP and had medicine. The medicine you were given made your tummy sore so we had to stop it. You seemed to be better after that.

Last night Nana and Papa babysat for you while Mummy and Daddy went out. It was the first time we have been out since Mummys birthday. We had a lovely meal in a restaurant then went to the cinema. I missed you lots but I wasn't home long before you woke me to be fed :-) Sounds like you had a good time with Nana and Papa, not going to bed until nearly 9pm! You made up for it this morning by sleeping until 9.30am, it was lovely to have a longer sleep.
