Still feeling crappy, bad sniffles, cough, sweats, etc. D's pox are starting to clear up though, which is good news. They've gone all dark and scabbed over, and are beginning to disappear. Now comes the itching!
One of D's school friends came over yesterday afternoon and I ended up chatting with his mother for a while which was nice - I made a new friend (awww). Later in the day we were outside so D could play and chatting with our friends across the street who have a very difficult son that suffers from ADHD and they think Asperger Syndrome too. He's hard work and can be (and is increasingly) very aggressive. He has constantly hurt D in the past and D has never stuck up for himself so I have been trying to drum into him that he must hit back. I don't like to encourage him to be violent but I think this kid needs to learn that if he hurts D, he's going to get hurt himself. Anyway, the kid thumps D twice and D is v upset. Then he comes after him again so I say (in full view of the kids father) 'Hit him back' and D thumps him good and proper twice on the back of the neck. Kid runs off hysterically crying. Good one son!!! Later, D asks if he can have a gold star for hitting him (what do you say to that!!)
After spending an hour this morning cleaning up D's old Pram, we did some more shopping for the nursery today. Didn't need much - a mobile for the crib and a couple of baskets to throw nappies and such like into. Obviously came away several hundred dollars poorer and with bags full of all manner of things we suddenly discovered we 'needed'. PBK has alot to answer for.
Tomorrow is Fathers Day and D has some cute things for his dad that he made at school. I have something else for him that I think he'll like, and I can't wait for him to see the card that D's done for him (more on that tomorrow!). Annoying thing about Fathers Day is that no doubt I'll have to get up first in the morning and get the coffee on!
