Wow...a while since I meant to post, and am now writing here. I try my best to not make my posts not sound like medical bulletins, but I have no option with snot around me.
M is on his fourth episode of coughing since December. It is not a very pleasant thing, and the pediatrician has now recommended a Chest X-Ray and a Haemo.gram. That's the highlight from yesterday. This new development happened after him having just recuperated from a busted chin (he scared the daylights out of everyone at the daycare) and a viral fever before that.
Figlia had some discoloration near her lip. I thought it was possibly due to drool collection at night at the site when she slept, but it turns out that a simple Zinc supplement has taken care of it. The discoloration is gone, but that bit of skin is a litter coarser than the rest.
I was thinking of how M and Figlia were different at the age that M is in now. M still does not show any preference for what he would like to wear and not wear. He would rather not wear clothes at all.
I was more afraid to deal with Figlia's tantrums than I am with M.
Figlia has picked up my shrill mummy-voice in shouting at M, when he messes up. I would rather not have her screaming at him like I do, and then I realize that this is how harsh I sound when I am stopping my son in his sodden tracks and tricks.
Ah, it's certainly disconcerting when our children mirror our behavior. Oh well, opportunity to learn and all that, I suppose.
