I like the idea of the mesh teethers for when we're ready for solids. Like Cee Cee, I'm going to see how Oscar goes but I'm hoping to push it out till late December/early Jan cos we'll be in NZ then and I'd rather we be as self-sufficient as possible with food for Oscar and not worrying about carrying extra food in his bag! If we do have to, then we do, but it can't hurt to have a plan A! I was thinking that we can start playing with pureed apple when we are there.
DP is out playing with fire at a training day with the brigade, so I'm on my own AGAIN! Yesterday he was helping a friend with his deck after he was at his brother's helping with their internet connection issues. Not to be nasty, but to look after myself I left everything in the house cos he said he'd come back and tidy up. Never happened cos we were invited to the deck friends' for dinner (was yummy!). Had to give up on the idea of going to GF's 30th cos it would have meant having Oscar in the car for 45 mins one way - he wouldn't have been content that whole way, not with his cough and congested nose, so I opted to go to our friends' who live 3 minutes away by car. Oscar was great - he slept in his cocoon for a lot longer than I expected so I got to eat a whole meal in one sitting without wearing him! Today I'm on my own again but I did manage to clean up a bit while he slept earlier. I need to get my horse ready for the farrier tomorrow, but I may well ask DP to go there with me and get him, cos as much as it's a lovely day, I really don't want to upset Oscar's apple cart if DP can help me out with that. I'd love to head out in this weather but I don't want to take a step back in our recovery I bet that the day we feel well enough to head out it will be freezing and pouring with rain!
Why is it taking so long to get better??? Oscar is SOOOO full of snot and there's only so much of that aspirator he's willing to put up with at any one time.
AY!
Bloody nora, the whole state is on fire. I might turn the scanner off, there's too much going on to keep up with!
