Bad Mummy Moment

BG has Chickenpox, she's covered in sore, red spots. She woke up yesterday with some spots on her neck, so I took a picture and posted it on twitter (obviously), some though it could be chickenpox but it was a bit early to tell. 


Later that afternoon the spots had multiplied, so we took her to the out of hours doctors who confirmed it was Chickenpox, so we went home with a huge supply of calamine. 


No why am I a bad mummy I hear you say? Well, she's probably had it for a few days and I hadn't noticed.
Let me explain, when BG is teething she's get nasty nappy rash. On Friday her bum look a bit sore and there were some spots, I just though it was nappy rash. Turns out there were the chickenpox spots, by the time we went to the doc they had burst, apparently the spots like warm places.


I left the doctors feeling like the worse Mother in the world, there's me slapping on nappy cream and all along she's got the Chickenpox. 


To be honest she doesn't seem to notice the spots, which can only be a good thing. The doctor (who always makes me feel like a neurotic mum) said she may not get itchy as he seems to think its psychological and she's too young to realise. We shall wait and see, she is definitely not herself so lots of cuddles are in order this week.  


I just hope it all clears up soon.

How To Make Friends BG Style

After our grumpy session at toddler group last week, BG took it upon her self this morning to try harder to make friends!

The cheeky grin didn't quite cut it last week with the mums

I know I'm biased but how can you resist that smile?

BG plan of action was the isolate one mum and work on her. She hit her with a the smile first, which recieved a small smile back.

Then after deciding that trucks where her toys of choice for the day, showed the truck to the mum and demostrated how it work. This worked well the mums was talking and playing with the mum and her son.

BG then offered to share her biscuit and drink with her, she doesn't share with mummy!

She then went in for the kill and put her hands up for a cuddle (only sligthly concerned she want to cuddle strangers!)

This won the mum over and they became fast friends and mummy had someone to chat to....thank you BG

Now we need to work on the other mums and BG needs to start playing with the other children.

The House Of Sick

Actually the House Of Poo would be more appropriate!

We have been really poorly in this house, very nasty tummy bugs. BG is still ill and very very grumpy. Hence the lack of post in the last week and to be honest this may be it for a while. Getting computer time at the moment is really hard with trying to look after a sick baby and organise Christmas (really glad I'm not cooking this year)

I am currently stood in my kitchen typing as BG's sleeps on the sofa (she will not go in her cot) and I cook some pasta before trying to wrap a few presents in the hope she doesn't wake up.

This may be my last post before Christmas, it all depends on BG. So just in case this is my last post I hope you all have a fab Christmas!
