ONE ITCHY ARM

Typical, as I write about all our positives we wake to a very non-coping wee Harry.
He managed to sleep all night again but has woken up with one itchy arm. I'm stuck on the couch patting and reassuring him.
He's in tears and grumpy, rightly so!
He managed twenty minutes of wet wraps before I gave into his crying.
Unfortunately Andrew is away for the day in Queenstown doing a race so I'm going to have to juggle the itch and the boys on my own.  The boys and I are heading over this afternoon - perfect time for Harry to shred his arm to bits!

Hopefully I can distract Harry soon with toys and our day gets better.


Ouch!

AND ANOTHER FIRST

The boys are still sleeping in their beds for most of the night. When our new bed arrived it became a child magnet for a few nights with all of the boys getting up in down to have a cuddle in bed with us!
Unbelievably lastnight and the night before the boys have slept all night long in their own beds...without waking! What a strange feeling waking up without being woken through the night. It has been our normal for nearly eight years!
This is one very huge first for us! Gosh our lives have changed entirely over the last year. It's very very exciting. I can't even begin to describe how happy we are.

Oscar's skin looks immaculate, not one spot of eczmea over the last few days. He does have one massive attitude though. I don't know if this is normal for a seven year old boy or not!
Harry's doing very well too. Both Harry and Charlie have been unwell this week so this usually results in Harry getting itchy.
Nothing we can't handle!

Now that I haven't got so much to document and our itchy journey is coming to an end I won't be putting many posts on my blog. I need to spend time with my family and keep enjoying our new found life.
I will do a post soon of before and after pics to show how incredibly far the boys have come.
To say we are proud of all three of our boys is an understatement!

So many nights I have cried watching Oscar and Harry sleep knowing that their sleep would be brief and at any second they would be waking to endure hours of itching. Now when I see them tucked up in their own beds I smile knowing they are finally comfortable enough to sleep and this sleep will give them the energy to enjoy their childhood.
