It was still a special week, with lots of snuggles and cuddles watching movies on the couch. Mia enjoyed dressing up like a pirate the one day. ;-) She made her own sandwiches - sort of, hehe. We visited my dad a couple of times during the week, and popped in at my grandfather on the weekend.
Luckily she didn't seem to feel physically sick, just a whole lot of sinus-type post nasal drip going on. I've kept her home from school for two days now, but I feel she's ready to go back tomorrow. She's getting quite bored at home! I've enjoyed the extra two days to sleep-in a bit though, must admit. ;-)
Following on from my post a while ago about Mia's disobedience and defiance - I think that was just an exceptionally bad week, as since then it hasn't ever been quite as bad for me to handle. Still a few occasions that she tries to push the limits, but I think with both Wyn and I being more firm with her so that she understands what we say goes, it has been easier.
I'm so aware of how little time is left for me to give all my time to Mia, but trying hard to shift my mind-set, it's not mourning her loss of being an only child, it's celebrating the joy of getting a sibling! We're focussing on that. :-)

Aw sucks that Mia got sick. Never nice when they're not feeling well. But glad you had fun together and could enjoy those snuggles, I miss those.
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the defiance and disobedience. I have no clue how to handle Matthew anymore. :( But we will get through this. Glad things are better with Mia and I need to adopt your attitude, it's not mourning it's celebrating! Thanks Jess!
Precious little girl! Sorry she was sick for her first school holiday, I am glad she is feeling better now. xx
ReplyDeletePoor little child, to be sick during the holidays. I am glad to hear that things are going easier on the defiance front. All children need to test every so often, and maybe she has tested and settled? I love your positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet photos of your gorgeous Mia. So sorry she was sick, but glad you guys have lots of cuddle time! xx
ReplyDeleteBlegh on being sick. Liam has croup at the moment, but like you say, not physically ill, just barking like a dog, hehe.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering how your Dad has been. Think of him every now and then.
I wish I could be more firm, but I also think that DH needs to stand behind me. He tends to leave me and Liam to our own fights instead of supporting me. This must change
Stunning pics of a beautiful family
Both Munchkin and Sweetpea were sick during the holidays and Sweetpea is still sick and heading off to the doc today after school. We were going to keep her home but she insisted on going and started crying ... saying that daddy cant take her to the doctor AFTER school :-) So since she's not running a fever or anything hubby caved :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the pics! Mia is such a cutey :-)
