Coffee kick
Last week Sunday we spent the morning at a friends house and the rest of the day was pretty uneventful. At bed time Eli was saying his feet were cold, but a hot water bottle sorted that out. Later in the night though, things started to get strange.
Eli was calling out in his sleep, dreaming and being pretty restless. It is unusual, but he does have nights when he dreams and is a bit restless. A the night went on though, the intensity turned up a bit.
Eli called out quite a few times in his sleep, and the one time I went to him and he said, “The bed is wet, the bed is wet.” I felt around, wondering if a hot water bottle had suddenly started to leak. Nothing. He was rubbing hit feet together, and being very restless. In the end I went and lay with him.
The next day Donné was speaking to the friend we had visited and her boys had had exactly the same type of night. Her one son was blowing on his hand saying it was hot, and it was a crazy dreamy night.
They realised that the common factor for all the boys was some biscotti which another friend had brought that had ground coffee in them. A quick internet search on the affects of caffeine on young children and everything started to fall into place. They had all eaten some of the biscotti, and all had a caffeine fuelled restless night.
It was interesting. The exact effects were surprising, but certainly interesting.
Tired out Adam
The poor little guy was totally pooped at the end of the day, and then fell asleep on the changing mat after his bath
Even after putting his clothes on he was still sleeping
It’s been a tiring week.
Getting mobile
Adam just got mobile! He is not crawling, and it is pretty slow, but it he is mobile. Sit, stretch, drag, sit, repeat. It was enough to get him from our room into the bathroom this morning….
Inching forward
Here kitty, kitty
Which one should I go for first?
Adam really loves the cats – if he sees one, he gets a huge smile on this face, and he wants to give them a “stoke” (where “stroke” means bash/grab/gnaw). Coco is always around, and nearly willing to put up with him, so he is quite fond of her.
Tomato?
Hmmm, let me try one of these
What the heck was that thing?
Maybe it was just a bad one, let’s try another…
Adam gets an upgrade
Adam has been sick on and off (mostly on) for the past month, and in that time his ears have never properly cleared. The ENT recommended grommets, so this morning Adam went to have his upgrade installed.
The little guy was an absolute champ, and even managed to be happy and smiling through all of the preparation. I was with him right up until the anaesthetist put him under.
All ready and about to go in
The operation was super quick and he was very unhappy when he woke up – groggy and cranky. After about half an hour he settled a bit, and then gradually made his way back to his smiling self. He was quite sensitive today though, just suddenly crying out with tears rolling down his cheeks for no apparent reason at times.
We’re very hopeful that this leads to a healthier happier Adam, and a bit of a respite from Dr’s visits for Donné.
Cute baby gowns – luckily he could keep his jersey on through everything.
Bush pixies
These two have been discovering new hiding places in the garden, and the current favourite lair is behind the hibiscus plants.
