Eve the daredevil in her winter boots!
I count my blessings every day, but on Thursday I made extra special thoughts for Thanksgiving day. It's so important to put positive vibes out into the Universe. I am thankful for so many things in my life. I know I'm almost a week late, but a very happy belated Thanksgiving to you all!
I am finding it tricky to update this blog as much as I'd like. By the time my thoughts finally make it on to the net a week seems to have flown by. I shall endeavour to update this as regularly as I can because I just love doing it. The amount of photos we take of Eve has of course dropped now that we're not out and about together each day, and a blog needs photos that's for sure, so as soon as I have some we'll be 'cooking with gas' as they say :-)
This morning when I dropped Eve off at nursery I was given a Christmas bauble that she has made. It's so cute and I cannot wait to hang it on the tree at the weekend.
The nursery staff told me that she just loves arts and crafts, and when all the other children have given up on their creations she is still locked into art mode and they cannot get the paints and glitter away from her. This made me very happy.

Last week Sam took Eve to the doctors again as her chest infection has still not cleared up. She was prescribed a second course of antibiotics. It turned out that she also has an ear infection. She's such a happy little thing though, she always has such a big smile for us.
Antibiotics are supposed to be administered every 8 hours. However, the days that she is at nursery she has them every 12 hours, and she refuses to drink it in the middle of the night so I've given up trying.
If we tell the nursery that she is on antibiotics again they won't allow her into nursery which is frustrating as we will be charged for the time that she is away. Sam has been told that he is only allowed one day paid for a sick child, so he got docked a day's pay the last time. My boss has not been very forth coming with flexible working hours so I don't think he'd be helpful either.
I feel awful because it's the first time that Eve has been properly ill and I would love to be at home to be able to nurse her back to health. We're just really hoping that the medicine makes her well in time for her first birthday next weekend.
Victoria Park
On Saturday morning I took Eve up to the butchers in Knowle to order our Christmas turkey and a ham for Christmas eve, which was quite exciting and a learning curve for me - I find weights and things quite tricky. Then on Sunday I took Eve through Victoria Park - it was such a beautiful winters day. I love walking through this park, there are lots of colourful Bristol houses surrounding it. It is such a vast, wonderful space. After a full on week at work it allows you to smile and breathe!
