Both sick

This is an old posting which I had drafted last night (Wed, 8 July 2009) but didnt get to finish as my son woke up, coughed, vomitted badly several times....so, I'll just post it tonight, even though it's not completed.

8 July 2009

We're both sick. Started last night. Mild fever but was enough to cause a restless sleep for him, which meant I didnt sleep well either. But at least I had the luxury of sleeping in this morning.



So, we didnt go to Titiwangsa this morning, or do that much today. I'll instead write briefly about what he did yesterday (7 July).



7 July 2009


Titiwangsa


Played for a short while only as he said he was tired (probably wasnt so well already) & the sun came out. He did manage the following:

- 1 x on monkey bar slide

- 2 x walking up the stairs

- 3 x tunnel slides

- 1 x tunnel

- inclined ramp

- walked on the pebbled covered drain (uneven surface, good for balance)

- he did try the arched ladder, which he hasnt done for many months. It's a ladder but instead of it perfectly vertical, it is arched so the bottom of the ladder starts off vertical, and the top of the ladder ends up horizontal.



Gardening


Wasn't so sunny when we got home, so did a bit of gardening. He likes to help nowadays, so he picked up dried leaves & cuttings. Good for squat to stand, bending down, using left hand, hand eye.


He also said "thank you" many times, when i helped him gather smaller cuttings into a pile for him to pick up & carry to the bin bag. So, got in some speech there.



Car seat


I've been letting him try to climb up into the car & his car seat & get off too. Sometimes he's better than other times. He often needs help when he finally gets into the car seat but one leg gets stuck under him (he sat on his leg but cant pull his leg out). He's getting quite heavy for me to carry him into the car, so I better start letting him practice! It's good for balance, co-ordination, independence
