Oh blog, how I've neglected you
I've been a terribly unreliable blogger lately, I do apologise. No excuses, I'm just lacking inspiration!

Cough cough cough!
We've been very lucky this winter, avoiding all sorts of nasties! But its the changing of the seasons that really gets Thomas.
In the change from autumn to winter he got pretty sick and had a week off care, and now in the change from winter to spring, same thing! It seems he's likely a hayfever sufferer :( But we've unfortunately thrown another nasty into the mix - asthma.
Monkey starting coughing when daddy left for Oz, Thursday the week before last. It was at its worst at night, when he seemed to be all choked up and would cough till he gagged *gross*. So a trip to the Drs, and we came away with an antihistamine to help dry out his nose, and in turn supposedly dry out his cough. Fail. He got worse!
So after a week of sleepless nights we went back to the Dr with daddy in tow, looking for some relief. And the Dr posed the question "family history"? I hadn't even thought about hubby's side of the family, who have three chronic asthmatics *doh*, so it was a good thing we both went to the appointment!
We came away with some ventolin and a spacer to administer it, and we now have a much better little boy! We tried him without it last night, but he coughed till he spewed within 30 mins of going to bed, so quickly nixed that idea.
And the best part - today he saw another kid use a spacer and puffer, and now there's no screaming restraining battle to get it into him! He happily takes it in like a pro (okay, the marshmallows may have helped too!)

A night at nana's
Thomas had a sleep over at his nana's house on Saturday.
This gave me a much needed night off, but also gave nana some quality time with her first grandchild.
She loves having him over, but I do have to wonder what they get up to!
When I picked him up Sunday morning, he smelt of her perfume, because apparently he asked for it to be sprayed on him! We mimic this at home in the mornings (part of his role playing I guess, monkey see monkey do), but don't actually spray him! And he came home with a new saying: "cuppa tea"! Sounds to me like tea parties were on their agenda!
I even checked his toes for nail polish haha!
