Very little productive stuff has been done round here in the last couple of days as Oliver was sent home from nursery yesterday morning for being thoroughly sick. As nursery have a policy of barring children for 48 hours after any sickness, he will now be off until Thursday. Needless to say, he looked completely unaffected and was his normal boisterous self, the only sign that he may have some sort of bug was that he fell asleep in the car yesterday at 4, and slept on whilst I carried him to his bed and took his shoes and coat off. By 7 we had made the decision not to wake him up, but to let him sleep on, which then meant undertaking the tricky manoeuvre of putting a nappy on a curled up child, working by touch only, under the duvet so as not to wake him by exposing him to cold air. He then slept until 6 this morning, annoyingly waking just after I had braved the icy kitchen for a cup of tea and was hoping to take it back to bed and drink it whilst planning my day.
Another sign that he may have picked up some bug is that his mother is now lying wanly on the sofa, vomiting at regular intervals. She doesn't seem to have his robust immune system and definitely not his energy levels.
