We stayed at the lodge for three nights and had some fun snow play between the mud puddles. Snow was disappearing before our eyes.

My first baby legwarmers
This was pretty easy - just create an ankle cuff from the foot part of the sock and attach to the leg part at the bottom.
I sewed these baby legwarmers from adult cotton socks as per

It feels good to keep my hand in with the sewing machine even though it is my grandmother's first machine and makes a god-awful racket because it has a flat spot on its wheel.
Ryan is still not fully recovered - just enough to refuse a nap but not enough to avoid meltdown way before dinner time. He went to bed at 4pm this afternoon. We'll probably have a wet bed tomorrow.

Hell in a handbasket
After congratulating myself that I was handling things by myself and everyone was returning to health it all went downhill on the weekend. Ryan came in with earache at breakfast time so Mum rushed over and we took him to the after-hours doctor's clinic at the hospital and bought some antibiotics. Trying to dose him with that and painkillers is a bit of a nightmare.
The next morning Leah's right ear started oozing and she was fractious so Mum came over again and I waited for the after-hours doctor for 2 hours. Luckily she slept in the sling the whole time. Went to the chemist for more antibiotics. She takes it much more easily than Ryan.
Now, Tuesday afternoon I've got a sore spot in my throat near my left ear! It hurts to swallow. Maybe I need the antibugs too!

Hubby away
He's gone for three weeks to France. Luckily we are back into a fairly easy routine. Leah is sleeping longer at night and Ryan wakes up at a semi-reasonable time and amuses himself for a while before demanding breakfast. He has dropped his daytime nap at home so I have to wait until 7pm to relax.
Success with catching Leah's elimination needs outside of a disposable nappy is limited to some wees and most poos. It's very good for avoiding nappy rash and wipes. Now I have all these products that I don't need to use! Don't think I can go the whole nappy free business. It gets harder when they get mobile.
