Pinch & a punch for the last of the month! Isn't the year flying past!
After 6 good nights in a row, Kaylia had another bad one .... she was awake at 3am and making lots of noise till around 5am. What made the difference? It could be that she is getting over the effects of the chickenpox and so she doesn't need the anti-histamine any longer. Maybe the anti-histamine was acting to keep her asleep through the night.
It is good at times like this that Tina is away ... on bad nights, we don't need to worry about Kaylia waking any one else in the house.
Tina will be home in about a week and we're looking forward to that. Tonight we actually went out! To "Fast Eddy's" for tea. Kaylia is very good in those situations now .... much better than times in the past when we felt that we couldn't face going anywhere!

Kaylee is happy again! She went to school today and coped OK
At present she is singing along with the iPod Touch .... (what a great invention! ... highly recommended for children or adults .... I'd love to have an iPad).
The past few nights have been wonderful ... sleeping right through. I wonder if the change in routine will have made a longer term change in her sleeping habits? Time will tell.
We enter a new phase with Kaylia next week .... no au-pair!
Linda is leaving us (Thankyou for your help Linda.) on the weekend and till I find more work, we will see if we can cope with just the two of us. Tina will help where she can as well ..... but it will be a new way of arranging Kaylia's care.

The chickenpox has progressed through the usual course ... and poor Kaylia has suffered!
She has spots in some terrible places and they itch big time. Fortunately the Polaramine controls the itching fairly well. Monday she slept almost all day ... and then was in bed early and slept all night. She's sick! Today she has been OK but tired ... and then she slept again for most of the afternoon.
She will have Wednesday off from school as well ..... but she seems to be on the mend.

Chickenpox! She was sent home from school with suspicions and these were confirmed by the doctor next day .... poor thing .... she is very tired, irritable and itchy in all the worst places! Today she has been obsessing on jelly ..... most of the day, it has been a chorus of 'I want jelly!' It has been driving us mad 'cos jelly takes time to make .... and she can't grasp that idea. She wants it NOW!
Three weeks to Bali ... we feel moderately confident .... I think we have a good control of the medication and we'll be much better prepared this time. Fingers crossed.
An interesting snippet ..... for some strange reason, Kaylia is fascinated by just one of Tina Arena's songs ... I had put "Je m'apelle Bagdad" on the iPod .... and she watches it over & over. She's not very interested in any other Tina Arena songs ... just that one. Go figure!
