incremental progress

Snot everywhere

Yup, h is still productive. What's a bit distressing is that I seem to have picked it up too. Dangnabbit. He now has diarrohea and vomiting, and has to have that pediolyte stuff so he doesn't get too dehydrated. Hopefully I'll stick to issues resolved with tissues.

even though he has a cold he is determined not to be having a bad life. So tonight when he had a bath, he learnt a new trick. He was trying to get something off the shelf above the end of the bath, and when he got it he sort of fell down or slid. I laughed at him, so he decided he wasn't scared. And started to deliberately half crawl up the sloping end of the bath then slide back down. It was funny. Eventually he slid right over and went down so his head got wet, and he decided that was funny too. c hated hurting himself, so was very cautious. h seems a lot more gung-ho, and I think is going to give me some proper worry. But he doesn't crawl over the edge of the bed or the front step, so is also showing signs of sense.

We had sushi tonight - c has invented nutella sushi. Don't ask!

I went to the t coll library and found many books on teaching (i've never seen them before) and classroom management. I could learn a lot! I have an interview for a job that doesn't exist yet. And I will have to buy a skirt to wear to it, as I am losing so much weight at the moment. My jeans are held on with a belt and not much else. Must be the breast feeding, cos I am eating plenty. But it better stop soon, or I'll be naked in public by accident!!! Actually, I can't decide if I like it or not. But I noticed a collection of posters for women's magazines, and I think of the six posters maybe (and I MEAN maybe) one didn't have a lead article on losing weight. As a gender, it appears we are obsessed with being thinner, and i guess this is why I feel ambivalent about my weight loss. I'm seeing Shona this weekend, she'll tell me if I am too skinny, and i can trust her opinion. She just looks at people in the same way she looks at horses, dogs, cattle and cats. Only Ccerned about visual lines and health, not fashion.
