Well folks, for the last few weeks I have been dwelling on the idea and potential of You Tube… voila, here is the first product of that dwelling. A clip of Carys having fun in the sun during the summer. This was taken on one of our last days at Fintry after watching Carys & Sela go wild everyday (for three weeks whenever they were in the pool) bouncing. They loved it and hopefully you will, too! SURPRISE: Part 2 is now up… please take a moment to RATE the videos, too. Thanks!
Yes, I know the videos can be embedded in the blog but I ran into some technical difficulties trying to do that today at lunch.
Well, the kids have been stellar at fighting off coughs and colds for months, but they have finally succumbed. This is remarkable considering Tess and I were both ill two weeks ago and the kids never caught our bugs… until now.
Tonight I arrived home from a Thunderers Dinner (think: men, black tie, dinner, cognac & cigars) to find a few restless kids in bed. It all started with a smelly nappy that turned out to be Carys. Tess changed her while I helped, until Jasper started to cry. JJ often needs a drink of water in the middle of the night and I figured that was the cause of his crying.
Not so… the poor little chappy was wheezing (refused water) so I gave him a few Ventolin puffs instead. While this was going on, Tess returned Carys to bed. Meanwhile JJ’s crying awoke Seb and Tess pulled him out of bed for a wee wee. As Seb returned to bed he was wide awake and said a few words to me… with a very croaky voice.
“Oh boy,” I thought, “time for some more medicine.”
I pulled out some night time cough syrup and loaded up a syringe. Then I climbed up some steps to Seb’s bed only to find him wide awake. (Normally he falls right back to sleep after a midnight wee wee.)
“Sebastian,” I said softly, “it’s time for a little medicine!”
“What kind of medicine?” He asked loudly!
Over the next ten minutes both JJ and Sela awoke coughing and spluttering, so I also gave them some soothing cough syrup. We might be in for a tiring weekend if the colds really do settle in, too.
Yikes!
