Arte, W's skiing looks amazing! I'm not sure I can even ski that well haha. The flip side of the tiredness is that it will build endurance, all the kids will benefit.
Cally, how is FIL going now?
Well I'm back from my overnight/daytime sleep study - hope I don't have to do that again in a hurry. Sleeping on cue is a challenge!! But obviously not too hard for some of us because I slept in 3/4 naps (2 hours apart). I tried to pump them for info (eg, did I dream?), but the girl got very cagey and kept making allusions to "certain diagnoses" with "ramifications" so TBH I will be surprised if it comes back neg for narc. I tried timing the nap lengths to sneakily work it out (if you fall asleep they let you sleep for exactly 15 mins which the general public is not supposed to know) but I had to turn off my phone so it was all guesses in the end. But I didn't stay for a 5th nap which means I either dreamed at least twice or not at all. Criteria to get meds subsidised is fall asleep in under 10 mins (average) or dream twice.
Next week I find out if I'm the champion dreamer I always thought I was!! LOL
In other breaking news, I took my own advice and took The Little Girl with the Little Curl (ie, when she is bad she is HORRID) down to the drs. Apart from having the revoltingly named molluscum contagiosum (which is harmless & will go away by itself) she also has glue ear. The Dr was looking in her ear and told her to turn around and it was quite obvious in that moment that she didn't hear what the dr said at all. So, yeah, that probably goes a long way to explaining the general horridness lately. Sadly though, there are no treatments (although I have a few of my own theories including one that involves chewing gum) so we'll just have to keep riding this train until it returns to Pleasantville Station in a few weeks/months. The bonus in all this is that I now know which doctor at our regular practice is secretly a paediatrician (win!).
