And so it begins...

Oscar was HORRIBLE yesterday. A total whiney tantrummy naughty boy. I've been expecting this incarnation but it was still unpleasant. Pushed Rob to the absolute limit.

Oz was sent home from Nursery on Friday - he's got a really nasty cold and his temperature was 39.8 - Doc saw him - gave him 15ml of paracetamol and prescribed a ventolin asthma inhaler to open up his lungs. Oz won't use it though we've tried everything - any tips gratefully received.

So he wasn't himself really this weekend - combination of being poorly, I think he might be cutting a back molar, and his brother. It was the first time he'd spent 2 consecutive full days at home without being at nursery.

But in between throwing milk all over the furniture, trying to break Toby's swing, refusing to eat, having a tantrum over juice....he was quite lovely. He played happily with his playdoh for an hour. But it was exhausting. And I feel like the worst mummy in the world but I was really glad he's at nursery today!

I've been there and it aint pretty is it?? Good thing is - it doesn't last. Nursery sounds like a good idea though and you shouldn't feel guilty for it - gives you some breathing and bonding space. x
