SLEEPOVERS

The boys have never had sleepovers before - away from home or at home. This has been attempted many times but it would always end up with Oscar getting itchy and ending up in our bed.
On Saturday Oscar asked if he could sleep in Charlie's room so I made a bed up for him and they had their first ever sleepover. It was so lovely listening to them chatting and giggling away before falling asleep. They even made a plate of cherry tomatoes and carrots for a midnight snack!
Once they fell asleep Andrew and I watched them at the door taking in yet another first.  Of course I had a few tears! It's overwhelming seeing the boys enjoy these special moments.

This week Oscar has been having swimming practice in the bath!  He's confidently putting his head in and under the water and is also blowing bubbles.
Yesterday Charlie and Oscar had a bath together and Oscar taught Charlie how to put his head under water.
Andrew and I always said our children would have swimming lessons at an early age and be water confident - hasn't turned out quite how we thought!
Oscar got a birthday invite this week but it's at the swimming pool to go hydro-sliding.
Obviously with Oscar not being able to swim he won't be able to go. Thankfully he seems ok with this but it's sad that he has to miss out due to no fault of his own. Initially we hoped Andrew could go so that he could be in the water with Oscar but it's not going to work with the timing.

Harry's had an itchy week this week and completely all my fault. Oscar has been having a couple of teaspoons of yoghurt a week and so far so good. Harry on the other hand got wind of this so I caved and gave him some too. He's been itchy all over, particularly on his thighs and bum. It was a pretty decent reaction so It scares me to think how bad it would have been if he wasn't on the immunos! He ended up sleeping with me one night as he was so uncomfortable. He kept saying "Itchy itchy, ouch it hurts". So angry at myself for giving him yoghurt... it will be quite some time before we do that again!
