Under the weather

Feeling a bit glum. After months of deliberation and indecision, it was finally going to be Caleb's first day at pre-school today, but he (along with the rest of us) has a cold and a cough so he'll have to wait another week! He's doing alright, he's just not well enough for a big day like that. Things are, on the whole, more manageable than they have been for some time, but 2 afternoons at pre-school is part of my strategy to get him good and tired, and get his sleeping back to normal- and I'm ready for that to happen as soon as it can! We gratefully took Wendy's advice to pop a stairgate on Caleb's bedroom door- we've even managed to borrow one that he can't open for now- and things are slowly improving. It's nice to feel I have my (snotty) boy back after enduring months of the tired and screamy little monster that took his place for a while...
