In short, this week, I've got down time.
Notes (lessons) on her first proper "illness":
i. It must be AWFUL to have a cold and not be able to blow your nose. AWFUL!
ii. Euna resembles a ferret having it's teeth brushed when you try and wipe her nose. She HATES it.
iii. I now get why my Dad used to always say "I wish I could have it for you". At the time I thought "IDIOT! He MUST be lying, no sane person would inflict this upon themselves voluntarily!!" Turns out you would for your kids. Ten fold.
iv. Nothing works. Not really. Not significantly. The only thing capsules, drops, rubs, oils, nasal sprays and syrups achieve is making you feel like you've done something.
v. Calpol is STILL yummy at 28. Is there a Mum out there who can HONESTLY say they don't lick the spoon after administering a dose?
So in attempt to escape total cabin fever we've tried (in vain) to blow these germs away with cool, crisp Novemeber air... Winter is coming...
OH! But BLUE skies...
Leaves falling...
Leaves fallen...
Walking...
Twigs...
Self-portraits... Of course this was the ONLY one I took... Didn't take about 60 pictures of the floor in the process... Honest...
Silly...
Winter sun is my FAVOURITE...
NEEEEOOOOOWWWWWNNNN...
Back in the warm...
We have the faucet kiddlet noses going on over here too, but it is soo hard when they are little and can't relieve themselves. Lovely photos and hope she is on the mend! xx - Monica
ReplyDeleteHope yours are better soon Monica! It is so hard and there's TONS of bugs going around at the moment! :(
DeleteI Hope Euna is feeling better today, and yep, Calpol is yummy, even at 32 ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Good to know I have at least another 4 years of enjoyment of the stuff left! :D Viva la tasty Calpol! :D
DeleteOh what a sweetie! I hope she is feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely images!
Thank you Kerri! She's getting there but it's a slow old road to recovery for a baby! :( Hope you're well amongst the winter germ onset :D
Deletehow gorgeous! my two little loves are down with cold too... although they are not as little as yours!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! TWO down with it! Horrible! :( Hope you're all able to stay huddled up in the warm :)
Deletesweety image, i like it
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you enjoyed them! :)
DeleteOh I do hope she is feeling better soon and yes I understand what your Dad said. Gorgeous photos. B
ReplyDeleteHi Buttons! Thank you she is getting there slowly but surely! Hope you're staying warm :D
DeleteIt is awful that you can't do much to help at that age. I hope she feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! It is really awful, poor poppet! Thank you for well wishes she is getting there now but a couple more days of isolation will make sure :) Hope you're staying well!
DeleteLooks like a beautiful fall day! Hope your baby girl feels better soon, very soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy! Oh it really was! Autumn sun is my absolute favourite! Thank you she's getting there slowly but surely, I hope you're fending of the cold weather bugs! :)

Thank you Jamie! She's getting there just in time for me to go down with it! I hope you're fending off the bugs? Thank you so much! We did composition on my course this week so I've been playing with that :D
DeleteWhat beautiful scenery you have around you and what an equally beautiful baby girl to share it with!
ReplyDeleteFound you on the Mommy brain mixer! Following and commenting from http://fluffimama.blogspot.com/ I hope you'll do the same! Be sure to enter my giveaway for for a free Gold Canyon candle :)
Hi Sara! Yea we do, we moved to the area almost 2 years ago now and I really love it and she is beautiful isn't she! Thank you so much! And thank you for following, I will pop over asap :D
DeleteI agree; nothing worse than a sick child. Even though my girls are eighteen and nearly fourteen, it still breaks my heart. One of them gets her monthly so bad she is physically ill a couple of times a year. I could just cry for her. Such beautiful winter pics! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! It's horrid isn't it! Oh your POOR girlie! The trials of being a woman huh?!
DeleteThanks for the compliment! I'm SO glad you enjoyed the pics :D
Very creative photography and hope your little one is better ~ sending lots of healing reiki hugs ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thank you so much! I learnt about composition basics on my course this week and having great fun playing with the ideas, so glad you're enjoying them! Hope you're staying healthy in the cold weather :D
DeleteBeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you Danielle! I am REALLY pleased you're enjoying them :D :D :D
DeleteGorgeous photos -- I do hope she gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I am so pleased you like the pictures and she is getting there slowly but surely, we're having another day in the warm just to be sure :D Hope you're staying healthy :)
DeleteTheses are wonderful! And your little baby is just darling, I sure hope she feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with YSB this week!

Thank you so much YolandaR! I am so glad you enjoyed the post! She's pretty much back on par now and enjoyed a day with us an Nanny's house :D Happy Sunday, I hope you've had a wonderful weekend! :D
DeleteYour wee girl is so cute - I hope her cold clears up really quickly. I well remember those days :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a lovely walk. Fresh air always helps.
Hi Ellie! Thank you so much! The fresh did do her good in the end and she is back fighting fit yey! :D Hope you've had a fab weekend! :D
DeleteWhat a precious little girl. Hope she's feeling much better by now.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures...♥
Hi Susan! Thank you! Yes she is muuuuch better and such a relief! It's weird how you respond as a mother when they're ill, I didn't really realise but it's really dragged me down seeing her poorly, you just to take it away and see them giggle again! So glad you enjoyed the pictures too, thanks for the comment :D Happy Sunday :D
DeleteHey Linda! Thank you so much, so glad you like the post!! You have a wonderful Sunday too! We're just snuggling down for "Homeland" and some supper :D
ReplyDeleteOh, you and your baby girl are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing such lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a compliment! Thank you So much! Glad you like the pictures, it was such lovely light! :D :D
