Poorly Butterbean

BB has been very poorly the last couple of days. She has had a cold for a littlewhile, which seemed to turn into something more Flu-y. Yesterday she had a very high temperature (high 38′s sometimes 39+ – even 40+ at one point – eek!), and spent all the time pretty much snoozing on the sofa or in someone arms, she isn’t eating at all, though drinking plenty of milk – though sicked that up  afew times – curds anyone :-). Lots of doseing up with Paracetomol and Nurofen (Nurofen always seems to be much better at bringing down the temp – but only 3 doeses a day, but she can have both so alternate them for maximium effect )

Still a high temp when she got up this morning. So took her to the docs (luckily, literally just round the corner). checked her chest, ears etc.  – as expected he said just to carry on. Kind of unneccessary really, but some how having someone else confirm that things are ok helps – sorry Jan if we were just one of those time wasters Of course as soon as we got there, the magical doctors effect took hold, and BB got off my lap and was  playing with the bead frame toy there

They are both now watching TV – I am going to try and sort out some of the disater zone that is the kitchen – but right now am zoning out a bit. BB has basically woken at 4 am or so the last 3 mornings and not really gone back to sleep properly – poor little Bean. And as Helen is working she has been in the spare room while I have BB.

SB has been very good really, and mostly very helpful. She did get a bit grumpy yesterday afternoon/evening with lack of direct attnetion for her – combined with knackered parents. We even got some HE in.

She did one of the sheets to go with the SOTW 1 chapter on Romans, Some maths – numbers to 100  – tens/units etc. Easy stuff for her really, but she seems to like workign through all the bits in the books, so just going with it – i’m sure it’s all good practice. She found some dinosaur stickers that came in the paper a couple of weeks ago, so she started on big picture to put those on. Played on BBC Jam and Ed City. Measured our temps with the thermometer. Watched a couple of episodes of the Trials of Life. – so not so bad I guess.

Missed out on going to the library this morning, but my parents are coming round this afternoon, so I can take her to her swimming lesson.

Now – about that kitchen……
