Catch Up

I've not posted for a while as I've been suffering with a chest infection.  I'm now on two lots of antibiotics (more like horse tablets!!) and am starting to feel better :-)  I could really do without this in the middle of the Summer Hols :-(  Princess Lollipop has, unfortunately, come down with a chest infection too, although it doesn't affect her much during the day, the cough is really disturbing her sleep and so she is tired and grumpy and has been tantruming as only a tired 3 year old can!  I'm finding it hard to deal with, but am trying my very best to stay calm and patient with her.

Little Prince has, unfortunately, lost his freedom to play out unsupervised :-(  There was an incident where a man tried to grab a girl into his car in a nearby village, and then a man matching his description was seen watching children at our village park.  When we showed Little Prince the photofit released on the internet (covering the words) he immediately said "That's the creepy man who was watching me at the park."  VERY scary and worrying.  Little Prince understands why he isn't being allowed to play out unsupervised, but he is getting bored and restless cooped up in the house and garden.  And when he is bored he gets sillier and sillier, and we are having to give him his medication more than I'd really like.

I haven't been well enough to take the Littlies to our village park, let alone anywhere else!  I feel awful that I'm not able to let Little Prince play out, or take them out to fun places - I don't want them to have this as their memories of Summer Holidays :-(  I'm not sure what else I can do though :-(
