Last night, I went to pick up Ethan who woke crying and managed to pull a muscle in my neck which caused my left shoulder and neck to be so sore, I couldn't put him back nor move.at all without pain. After taking two paracetemol and sodium diclofenac , I managed to get to sleep. Adam was a great help putting Ethan back to bed.
Awoke pretty sore still but manageable. Ethan woke but wasn't really his normal happy self. Adam woke early to go to dialysis.
It could have been that Ethan didn't get enough sleep on Monday, since he missed his morning nap in lieu of us going to the Methodist Church- where Adam and I got married- for Toddle In- a playgroup. Here playgroup cost money to go to. One pound- 60nt but the money goes straight back into it to buy coffee, tea, cakes , juice and snacks for the parents and kids. There were lots of kids Ethan's age and I got to meet so many moms. It was a much friendlier atmosphere than the first playgroup we went to where I mostly played with Ethan and not so much communication with the other moms.
It was great there. They had an indoor sandbox and Ethan was chucking sand by the shovels and of course some ended up in his mouth. Another things that ended up in his mouth were marker- non toxic so he had blue teeth for a bit. I tried my best to get it all off. They had great coffee, and even more delicious cakes. mmmmm. Definately going back. Forgot the camera but will definately remember it next week. When we got back, he went for a nap for two and a half hrs and then we went for a walk and saw ducks, 8 forest cats, game birds (grouse?), cows and dogs. For dinner, we all sat at the table and had Chickem red and green peppers in a tortilla. It was one of few times Ethan has eaten at the table with us and about 90% of the food was on him, the chair and the floor rather than in his mouth or belly. I got to take him upstairs for a bath while Adam cleaned up. Bless him!! It was a busy Monday.
Okay, back to today. Ethan and I woke up not very happy but made the best of it. We were going to try to go to the Ingleton playgroup this morning but we were waiting for the health clinic to call me back so I could make an appt for my neck. Somehow got the wrong number , they called back with the right number and the earliest they could get me in was 3:30pm tomorrow. We ended up missing morning playgroup, Adam came back from dialysis around noon and called the heath clinic and managed to get me in to see the doctor within 5 minutes! Yay Daddy! So, the doc checked me out. Just keep taking what I was took before and got another dose of amoxicillin for Ethan since his last bottle turned green while we were in London and he couldn't finish his dose.
Got back in time to head to an afternoon playgroup in Burton in Lonsdale. It was awesome. Tey had musical instruments for Ethan, indoor water table, art area, dress up, book area, outdoor enclosed area with sand pit- you name it- they had it. Too bad only Danni and her two boys, were the only ones there today. We went out to play with the sand and yup- more sand in the mouth, clothes, hands, in his clothes. When we came back in, I noticed a bird on one of the book area chairs. Danni thought I was playing with Ethan until she realized the big homing pigeon on the chair. So we managed to catch it, put it in a box. It seemed to have hurt one of his legs and lost some of its feathers on one wing. The owner amazingly had stamped his phone number on the pigeons wing but after 3 calls, Danni just left messages. We decided to take the pigeon to the Vet Clinic in High Bentham and so I dropped Ethan off at home with Adam. He seemed quite cranky and I figured he would go down for a nap. Then I took the pigeon in. The vet will treat it and contactthe owner- so that was our good deed today!
Sorry no pics. Forgot the camera and Ethan was a bit cranky today so most definately wouldn't be happy on camera.
Afterwards, I came home and the weather was sunny and bright. I found Ethan and Adam in the bedroom but as soon as Ethan saw me, he wasn't about to sleep so the three of us all went for a walk to look for the ducks and cats. Here are the photos. All went well except when Ethan put a dirty stick into his mouth and we had to wipe the dirt out of his mouth...other than that.. he fed the duck bread off the bridge and pulled leaves off lots of the plants.
