Shortly after Cian’s birthday party he came down with a cough, runny nose and fever. It’s the first big cold he’s had and it’s a doozy. It just doesn’t want to let go which is annoying. The dr says it will be around for at least a week or so. Not looking forward to that! (edit.. it has now been a week and he’s still suffering!)
Cian’s super clingy – he’s crying unless you are holding him or sitting right next to him on the floor playing. In some ways it’s cute because he’s very lovey, but difficult when you are trying to eat, make food, go to the rest room, etc. And as the week has gone on, it’s gotten more difficult to manage.
One good thing about Cian is what a great eater he is. Not sure if that is due to the BLW we did or if he’s just a good eater. Even with him being so sick, he still ate homemade vegetable soup with pasta in it, pureed kiwi and frozen lemon lollies and of course his favorite pomegrante! Of course that wasn’t the planned meal, but at least he got some veggies and some fruit! haha.
I wrote that and then the next day he didn’t want to eat anything for lunch and i was thinking.. this must be what it feels like to wonder if your child is getting enough nutrition. I just let it go though and thought if he’s still hungry, he’ll be moany and not sleep. He took 2 epic naps – 2.5 hrs and 1.5 hrs, so I guess he did get enough to eat! And thankfully for dinner he redeemed himself and ate tons of fish, cauliflower, pomegrante and pear.
But after several days of this, I am missing all of our activities. The days go much slower when you can’t go to music class or playgroup. We’ve done very few of our normal activities this week, but we did go swimming one day which seemed to make him feel a bit better. we were planning on going again today, but he’s been sleeping all day, so not sure if we’ll make it!
