Sorry....

This Christmas was pretty quiet...my darling son passed his cold onto Daddy and I - And Mummy had to go one better and end up with Bronchitis! My first trip to my GP ended up with me being told to just inhale steam, I tried to tell him that I simply can't do that - but he didn't want to know. I went into the pharmacy to collect my repeat prescription and was told that I wasn't the first patient that day he'd told to do that! That was Monday, I was back there on Thursday to be told I should have been on antibiotics since Monday... Great! So I was only 4 days behind trying to beat this thing! Andy and I spent most of the festive season surrounded by tissues and trying to to keep ourselves going whilst Mikey was fine and pretty much ran riot! He has discovered that his Fisher Price Garage makes a good climbing frame and the cars etc he got for Christmas make great missiles!
He's also got a few puzzles but we are not yet at the stage where we want to put things in their 'homes' when it is more fun to cover the floor! He's also found out that as a nearly 2 year old throwing tantrums can be fun too....we've have the slamming feet on the floor and screaming if he doesn't get his way immediately...the next year or so could be fun I suppose! But he is still adorable when he puts his mind to it!
Today we had the first Mikey Masterpiece in colour, he was bought soem felt tips for Christmas but his cruel Mother felt that is was safer to try coloured pencils first, I make be a coward but I'm also trying to keep Daddy calm!
I have a feeling that we may have to buy a climbing frame and baby trampoline for his birthday, he can now climb onto the sofa and once he gets up there he just bounces and giggles! He'll even sit on the floor and try to bounce! Maybe once we've mastered walking we may need a trip to Margate in the summer if there are still trmpolines on the beach!
We're actually off the William Harvey Hospital next week to see a specialist about his walking -his left ankle seems to be too flexible and it could be that walking on it is simply painful so he has stuck to crawling, except when he wants to climb! We're both going with him, I can cope with most things but where Mikey is concerned I'd quite like some support with me!
