QUICK UPDATE FROM THE WEEKEND

Hi all

Just a quick update of things from over the weekend.

Was supposed to be going swimming on Friday (we normally alternate between swimming and ice skating on a Friday), but Callum wasn't feeling too brilliant. Complained he felt tired and headachey. There seems to be a few bugs going round at the moment that can range from sickness, headaches to being laid up completely. Was hoping he wasn't going down with whatever I have which (although I'm ok) has left me very tired for most of the week. Anyway, gave him a dose of Calpol and asked him what he wanted to do. Said no to swimming, but would go ice skating if the option arose. It did, so off we went. Callum doesn't mind ice skating as he just sits with us adults and plays on his DS and then sits with the kids during lunch.

Dailies were done that afternoon and then he immersed himself in Command and Conquer, Generals for the early part of the evening.

Saturday was a lazy day although Terri spent the afternoon with us as she was classing Saturday as mother's day as I was out on the Sunday.

Sunday we went off to the Brook Theatre in Chatham with Linda and Danielle to see Kids Caberet of Curiosities. Very funny man called Danny who did a turn with balloons. Had to be there to get it, but it was a very simple act, but highly hilarious. Also a acrobatic juggler. Show was shorter than I was expecting, but still had a great time.

So, today. Had hospital appointment this morning. Got signed off from the paediatrician again and got pointed in the right direction for any further help we might need. Happily she did not mention Callum returning to school this time. First time ever. My rather stroppy letter after last visit must have worked.

Callum is now 5ft 4.5inches and is officially taller than a few of my friends. The fact that the nurse said he could continue to grow until he's 18 and he's only 12 at the moment is slightly worrying, hehe. He's only got another 1.5inches and he'll be as tall as me! Aaaargh!

This afternoon was sorting through the dailies and he's getting the idea of maths word problems and simple algebra pretty well. And his spelling in literacy is starting to come together, so all good.

Anyway, update done so cya later
