What a day!!

Started off pretty normally, apart from Little Prince mentioned he had an owie head once or twice, and then said the bubbles he drank in his bath (!!!) made his mouth and tummy owie. Then he had a nap cuddled up on the sofa with me this afternoon - unheard of (the nap not the cuddling!!). Drama Teen made some chocolate puddings and Little Prince didn't want any - odd?!?! Then all of a sudden around tea time he became obviously ill. He was shivery, but no temperature and very pale. Not long after that he threw up - luckily he had managed to warn us and we had a sick bowl ready!! He was quite distressed at being sick and very worried he might be sick on blamie (comfort blankie) as this one has only just started to 'smell right*.' In the end I had to take him into our bed and cuddle him to sleep. He settled pretty quickly and has been fast asleep ever since - hope it lasts all night!

During all of this drama, I was also negotiating with Little Miss Sensible, via text message, about how to get her A Level results to her tomorrow. I have to go to meet her tutor at college and pick up the results in person, taking a letter of permission from my adult daughter :-) Then have to text her the basic grades/results as soon as I can - not going to be easy with a sickie boy in tow!! Once we are home she has a calling card to ring us up and get the detailed results!! These exams are VERY important as her university place depends on them - luckily she already has almost enough 'points' form her AS results to get into university. So unless she made a monumental mess of the last exams she has got her university place. She is a very clever young lady, and is expected to get very good results, so she hasn't really got anything to worry about - not that its stopping her though!!


*Blamies need washing!! We have a number of identical ones. But until they have been cuddled for a few days they don't 'smell right' and Little Prince gets quite upset about this!! He demonstrates how, when he sucks his thumb, that Blamie is close to his nose and he can't help smelling him - and then throwing him to the floor in disgust at his not smelling right!! We've tried having the spare Blamie, in bed with Little Prince for a few days before 'wash day' and it helps, but doesn't totally solve the problem!!
