A rough night for Wills

Poor Wills was in great pain in the night -- every time he fell asleep, his arm would move causing him to cry out. Tonight we are going to pad him in a bit more, to try and stop his arm from moving so much. He´s a lot brighter this afternoon but obviously shattered from such a restless night.
We were advised that he take his arm out of his sling every hour to keep it moving, he´s being very brave but it causes him great discomfort. Here´s hoping for a more comfortable night tonight.

A bitter sweet day

The boys were very excited to be going off to nursery today, Wills particularly so as it was warm enough for shorts.
However, I received a phone call at 11.30 from nursery to say that Wills had taken a tumble in the soft play area. He had landed rather nastily on his elbow -- he was in alot of pain and after a trip to the GP we were off to A&E. After a long wait, we were taken through for an x-ray, he found this very painful and they were unable to get a clear picture but they were able to deduce that it wasn´t broken. They fitted him with a "collar and cuff" -- back home he was more comfortable but the nurse advised that he move his arm regularly which is causing great discomfort. He has gone off to bed tonight and hopefully won´t be in too much pain during the night. No running around or climbing for little fella this week, which also means no football school or swimming.

Nanny & Grandads Bird Table..

Aidy discovered the bird table in Nanny & Grandad Crispies garden today, the contents of which had been collected all winter! He got into a lovely wet, muddy mess.
It was time for his dinner, so we took him indoors -- in the hour that followed he managed to throw yoghurt on the floor, smash a whole bottle of red wine and then after a nice cleansing soak in the tub, he piddled all over the floor.

Nanny, Grandad & Sally definitely paused for breath after we left that night!

We are adding this pic purely as it´s one of our faves!

Easter Egg Hunting

The boys had great fun today! We met up with a couple of their friends for an Easter egg hunt -- not much dinner was eaten after all the chocolate and Easter fairy cakes!
The grown ups quite enjoyed themselves too as there was plenty to go round.

Wills´ New Bike!

Wills has outgrown his first bike so it´s time to hand down the old one to Aidy and let Wills loose on this new one! Of course the favourite Ben 10 top is ever present.

School So Soon?!? Contd..

We received some great news today, Wills has our first choice of school place. He is very excited at the prospect of going to "big school"!
