So it’s been a while. Sorry about that 
I was bust getting ready for placement – which then didn’t happen. my police check didn’t get completed in time so I am now due to start placement after Easter. I’m not upset about it really as it’ll be much nicer going to and from work in the daylight, plus my father in law will be back working in Derby then rather than Leicester so hopefully I can get a fair few lifts to work from him which will make life easier all round.
Life has otherwise being going along – same old, same old really. William was quite poorly last Thursday, he was sick Wednesday evening and then 1am that night. When he got up Thursday morning he ate some fruit and then went back to bed. He woke crying at 10am so I got him out of bed and my poor little man just flopped against me and went back to sleep. He only woke for about 30 – 45 minutes all day and that consisted of drinking a bottle and throwing it back up again. I was just about to ring the doctors when he suddenly seemed to perk up. Ate a bit of food, drank an entire bottle which he kept down and then went to bed. He was still a little off his food for the next couple of days but he seems totally back to his normal self now.
The biggest news is we finally have a sitter – YEY! The boy can sit unaided. I think he’s a sneaky little wotsit who could probably sit unaided a while ago but hey? Why bother if he doesn’t have to. The last few days I have been sitting with him propped up against my legs or on cushions. That was fine but the all he would do was sit up to grab a toy and then leisurely relax back against me or the cushion. So today we plonked him in the middle of the floor and left him there! That did the trick. He sat for a good 10 -15 minutes with only two little tumbles. Now all my friends can stop going on about how he “should be sitting.” I keep telling them but they won’t listen that he’ll do what he likes, when he likes and no sooner!
I am slowly convincing him that he likes home cooked food better than the very expensive jars. So far mashed potato is a big hit, so is bagel and clementines. He loved clementines!
Anyway it’s late (for me!) so I am off to bed. I’ll update again soon!
