Following Charlie's incidents on Friday, it's been Theo's turn this weekend.
He's had a bit of a tummy bug, which has resulted in some amazing nappy escapades however, that was just the start of it.
After tripping and hitting his head on the fireplace on Saturday morning, he was sick after lunch but seemed to settle down OK for a nap. Then about 4pm, the remainder of his lunch decided to make a return visit all over the carpet (how DO you remove that smell?). Suspecting concussion, we rushed him to A&E who (after the regulation 3 hour wait) gave him the all clear.
Then, after lunch on Sunday (and again, several multicoloured napppies later) he once again threw up. NHS Direct allayed our concussion fears, saying it was more than likely a result of the tummy bug. Phew!
Settling Theo down to sleep Sunday evening took an age. We even broke one of the rules that we've rarely broken before and took him out of the bedroom and downstairs - he just wouldn't calm down and it was upsetting Charlie. By about 10pm (and another messy nappy later) we'd exhausted all options and decided to do the one thing you hear about other parents doing but never thought you'd do yourself.
We put Theo in the car and went for a drive!
Loe and behold, within 10 minutes he was off to sleep and I returned home, carefully removed him from his car seat, slowly walked upstairs and laid him down to sleep.
11pm, and our evening could begin....
