Lost the thread of thinking from yesterday again.
As I left for work this morning Louise was downstairs feeding Jude & Eve erupted & tearful shouts upstairs. I was late, but I went to get her. Settled in next to Louise & Jude on the sofa & Jack does the same tearful shouting from upstairs. Go get Jack to – settle in… etc. Jack was upset as I was just going to go. Quick kisses all round & run for the train. Naturally the train is late anyway & I stand around in the rain for a while (sigh). Eve is not really better yet & is still not really eating well, & now Jack seems to be similarly afflicted. He went to school yesterday, but it seems that on Monday there were 10 of his class missing, so there’s certainly something around town at the moment.
Hmmm – slow train this morning – looks like I could be late for work at this rate :)
Jack jumped off the toy chest at the end of his bed & onto his bed the last week. Jack & Eve do this a lot. The problem this time was that the curtain was in the way & he landed on it pulling the curtain rail down. It was one of those situations where it’s pointless getting mad. We weren’t in the room at the time, so I’m not really sure what happened, but Jack came downstairs to tell me what had happened – which is good of him. It was a confused telling of what was wrong, so I needed to go upstairs to see, but he did not try to blame anyone but himself. I disappointed him on Sunday by not being able to put up the replacement blind that I had bought the other day. I needed some wall plugs & I didn’t have any of the right ones & could not find anywhere to buy them. Consequently dad helped put up another blind when he arrived yesterday. That’s 2 visits where he’s had to do that now. We also put up a new (moon) light that they’d bought for the kid’s room at Ikea.
