It's been a busy few days with this cherub. We went to the Botanics, which is a ten-minute drive but fraught with difficulty with the little one because she throws up on any form of transport. Daughter 2 tried dosing her with something-or-other which had been recommended by a friend and right enough, she didn't throw up, but after a bit it made her so woozy that she kept falling over. So that wasn't a huge success.
At home, we've been Very Busy doing things such as... making a hedgehog,
eating and sharing "doughnuts",
weading stowies,
playing with Big Grandson's Brio,
playing in the paddling pool and sandpit,
and extensively cuddling. She's enchanting. But exhausting... . And the house is not its usual self, with everything that might be tempting crowded on to high shelves. But she's worth it.
It was Middle Granddaughter's 4th birthday today, but sadly we couldn't be with her because Son is shielding from any possible nasty London virus germs. He has lowered immunity because of the drugs he takes for his arthritis. We did see her on Face Time, though, which was a lot better than nothing. Happy Birthday, equally adorable Middle.
It hardly feels like lockdown at all now... except that we're not really going anywhere much.
Disappointingly, though the Edinburgh housing market is rumoured to be very busy, we've only had two viewers at the flat so far in the week it's been on the market. Let's hope for more people soon.
What a wonderful time with the London Daughter and granddaughter; she is adorable and busy is great(although tiring for us) at that age. Hoping for more views of the flat soon! I dislike intensely this reality where your son has to be so careful and in which we are very isolated from friends and family. Is hate too strong a word?
ReplyDeleteWe are about to childproof the house with similar elevations and hidings of breakable objects. Football on table noted! I find things in the most extraordinary places after they’ve gone. Grandson has a particular fondness for little tiny piggies and they are extremely hard to find. I was wondering how they managed the long journey with such travel sickness. Perhaps it is better on trains?
ReplyDeleteI wish I had grandchildren young enough to need to childproof things! Alas, I think I will have no more young ones but I will NOT complain since all of them live very near and I see them often, even in these strange times. I wish your daughter many viewers and a good sale!
