I had gone to bed early feeling pretty rought, and didn't feel much better when I woke up. Baby had woken up for two feeds during the night and all my mozzie bites woke me up as they are sooooo itchy now!! I stayed in bed for a bit of a rest and felt a little better afterwards. The Guest House owner has a stash of medicines left behind be previous guests and she searched through it to find some bite cream for me, which is helping a little and I am so grateful. She also got the ladies to bug spray our bed and put clean bed clothes on. And that wasn't all, she even arranged to put a mosquito net up over our bed, so I should (fingers crossed!!) be ok from now on :-) The Guest House owner is so kind and her and her staff really want to help as much as they can. We all went over to the Lime Tree Cafe for lunch, to take advantage of their free internet, but unfortunately Mr Messy couldn't get his comptuer to connect to their router, despite checking the password they had given them. We all had a lovely meal, apart from Mr Messy as baby woke up in the sling just as his food arrived and just wouldn't settle down, so he couldn't eat. When I paid the bil the waiter offered to either parcel up the uneaten meal or to give us free take away desserts instead, but Mr Messy just wanted to get back to the Guest House so we declined. During the afternoon I read one of my books upstairs in our room for a while, Little Prince kept coming up to join me and colour in his colouring books. Mr Messy brought baby up as she was asleep, she woke up after a while wanting her next bottle and after she'd finished I put her in my sling and she seemed to settle down really well in there. Its a HotSling and it cradles her like a newborn and holds her very close to me, and she slept quietly for ages in there. While I was looking after baby Mr Messy took Little Prince to the Bole Mini Cafe for juice and ice cream, Little Prince was very impressed by the stripy juice and multicoloured ice cream :-)
The Guest House guard was watering the garden, and Little Prince couldn't resist joining in!! At first he was quite helpful, but after a while the lure of getting soggy was too much for a 6 year old boy to resist!! He started to run in and out of the water spray, the guard tried to stop him getting wet, but wasn't too successful. Then Mr Messy got hold of the hosepipe and drenched Little Prince - which he LOVED lol. Once the guard had seen that we weren't worried about Little Prince getting wet, he sprayed Little Prince too. The rest of the staff came to watch the mad English boy getting drenched, until at last one of them called a halt to the game and said it wasn't good for Little Prince to get so wet, when it was so cold!!!! We tried to explain that, for us, it is sweltering here, but she insisted that they stop. I took Little Prince for a bath, but think he would have prefered to be given some soap and a hose down in the garden lol.
During the evening the young Guest House manager started a wild game of throwing Lego bricks with Little Prince!! I don't think the Guest House Manager realises how wild Little Prince gets and we had to call a halt to that game too!! The manager also tried to get Little Prince to let him play on his DS, but Little Prince was having none of that and wouldn't let him have a turn, which then escalated into another wild game between them!!! BOYS!!!!!! Little Prince finally calmed down when the manager found an Arabic kids channel on the TV, although Little Prince couldn't understand anything that was said, the sight of familiar cartoons seemed to calm him back down thankfully. After his exciting and tiring day Little Prince settled down in bed with no problems, and Drama Teen wasn't far behind them!! Me and Mr Messy stayed up to give baby her late feed, so that hopefully she won't wake up more than once in the night!!
