Train home.
Jack has quite a cough at the moment. It made him cough so hard he threw up the other night (Saturday?). Louise was upstairs at the time & guided him to the bathroom before he was actually ill – so that saved a lot of bother.
He’s basically OK during the day – it sits badly on him while he tries to sleep though. I got to sleep with him last night & he coughed loudly at me at what seemed like half hourly intervals. Suffering a bit today because of it. Probably have the same cough as he, as I have sinuses blocked. Leaning forward/looking down is uncomfortable for my face.
Shut yer whining!
Eve did a pooh in the bath (shared with Jack) on Sunday morning. Heh – that’ll embarrass her later in life! You wonder when she’s going to ‘get more control’ over this important part of life. I was not upstairs, but as the bath was bubble laden it would not have been immediately noticeable. Louise was upstairs & heard Jack saying, “urg – what’s that? …Eve’s done a pooh in the bath!!!!”. I had to nip upstairs to sort that one out. Yuk!
Jack’s been really well behaved of recent. He has not been reacting too badly to Eve, who has been more manic, shouty & attention seeking of recent (delayed reaction to Jude?). He has managed to shrug off some pretty annoying provocation from her. Of course there are the moments when he provokes her… but that’s a flipside. He is, on the whole, not retaliating against the weaker party – which is very good. Having said that – yesterday, for one reason or another was quite fraught. I think we’re all suffering something of this cough thing. Eve was in excruciatingly loud mode. Very fragile & apt to complain at everything. She did fall asleep at @16:15/30 & things all calmed down nicely & became a lot more manageable. She woke just as we were finishing tea. Jack asked to go to bed then, so it was into the night-time routine (about an hour or so earlier than usual). Eve joined in & actually fell off asleep @ an hour & a half later. Quite surprised at that. I think if it were Jack in the same circumstances (when he was younger) he would have run us ragged late into the night (as it was I did that on my own). She was in desperate need to catch up on sleep. She woke just as I was leaving this morning, & I got a big smile. She seemed in a lot better frame of mind. Whether that is how the day progressed, I guess I’ll find out…
