And Off We Go Again

Yesterday Mr L went to the dentist, he had a filling and he was in agony for the rest of the day, when night-time hit the only place that he could sleep comfortably was on the sofa as his head was so high up that his tooth didn’t start to hurt. So off I trotted to bed on my own. Checking on Baba as I went.

I finally got to sleep about 1am and around 2am heard these little footsteps as Baba wandered in the bed. Usually I would move him out that early, but Mr L was downstairs and I wasn’t that bothered last night. Luckily that I didn’t as about 3am the croup hit, and Baba was really bad with it. There was lots of crying, coughing and thrashing around as he could not get to grips with it all. It was worse than when he was a tiny baby I have to say, as he almost fights it now. By 4.30am Mr L was upstairs and Baba had some medicine and his inhaler to try to loosen up his croup. He insisted that he wanted Daddy with him, so I went into Baba’s bed to try to catch up on some sleep while Mr L and Baba stayed in our room. They didn’t sleep, so currently it is 10am and Baba has been awake for 7 hours, I am really hoping he is going to sleep at some point today.

Today is a pyjama day in our house, we are all shattered and Baba’s croup is just as bad as it was in the night, it isn’t as persistent but is still very much there. The poor little guy was supposed to be staying at Nannies tonight and going to the local fireworks. That is a cancelled event now.

We all just need some decent sleep and lots and lots of coffee to get us through the day!
