Saturday

Caelyn and Nigel left Wendy with me while they went shopping. She was sweet as pie and gave me no trouble at all. When I was in the bath, she noticed an old scratch on my knee, and was quite upset about it. I had to let her kiss it then catch the 'ouch' in her hand then throw it away. Compassion in one so young is rare and it brought a lump to my throat.



She was full of zest earlier in the afternoon. We had to take her shopping basket outside and 'wait for the bus'. She loves buses, and trains too, for that matter.



Her Auntie Michelle has had to take her first sickness absence from work in two years. She has bronchitis and sinusitis and she is very unwell. Work weren't too pleased with her being ill, but as she saw the Dr and can easily obtain a medical certificate, they will just have to be professional about it.
Michelle had a message from her cousin Melissa who lives in Qatar. Melissa is expecting a baby in April and Michelle was excited to hear about that. There seems to be so many babies around recently.



Anyway, little Woozle has a sore throat. We noticed it accidentally on Thursday when we were trying to amuse her by playing with a torch. As part of the game we looked down her throat to 'see her breakfast' and we noticed her tonsils were swollen and red with white spots. It was odd because she looked normal and behaved normally. Yesterday though, she was reluctant to eat and drink and she had a temperature during the night. She was happy this afternoon until about 5pm when she started to feel unwell and went to sleep in her father's arms.
