…and for once I’m not referring to how long it has been since my last post…
It’s about time that Sophie is finally back to better health…and thank god for that!
Last weekend, Ingrid and I went to a wedding in Gisborne. Nana King and Aunty Nicki kindly came up for the 3 days to look after their niece and Grand-daughter. All three of them had an absolute blast over the weekend and Sophie of course, was on her best behaviour for them and didn’t miss her parents at all. Ingrid and I on the other hand, missed her terribly but managed to have a great time too…actually, it was the first time the two of us have been away together since Sophie was born.

Fun at the beach

Anyhow, the day we got back home, was the day Sophie started getting sick. Ingrid ended up taking the next 3 days off work to look after her, which wasn’t easy…all Sophie wanted to do was grizzle, cry and latch on with her head buried into you. She hardly ate a thing all week and didn’t sleep well either. The nasty virus she picked up lasted a good six days, and it wasn’t until yesterday afternoon that she finally cracked a long overdue smile. The worst thing about a virus is the fact that you can’t do a bloody thing to make it go away…
A soon as she felt a bit better, we went for a drive out to one of the beaches and to let Sophie run riot - she loved the fresh air and even found a couple of ducks to chase around and around….and around, giggling like crazy as she ran after them…I even gave her a little bit of my ice-cream on the way home which she proudly displayed all over her face.
Today we headed along to the Parents and little ones exhibition at the Auckland Showground’s…Ingrid and I went there a couple years ago while she was pregnant, so it was pretty cool going back today with a cute little 18 month old, who was treated to clowns, balloons, dancing mascots and free baby food everywhere you look!
