Busy busy busy

It's been a whirlwind here.

The Boy is getting ready to start secondary school. This involves viewing the local schools, lots of angst over where friends may be going and trying to understand catchment areas and entrance requirements.

He's coping with it all very well, and has finally decided on a school that he likes. I'm so proud of him - he has considered what he wants in a school and has looked for it without blindly wanting to go where his friends are going. As it turns out, the school he wants is one that few of his friends will be going to but specialises in subjects he enjoys and wants to pursue.

The Little Lady accompanied us on the tours. She was a real crowd pleaser, and taking her ensured we got to talk to all the teachers!

On top of that, we've all had colds. For the Baron and I, this is not a big deal. An annoyance, but nothing more. When it comes to Little Lady, however, it is a big deal. The poor little thing hasn't been able to sleep or eat properly and has been thoroughly miserable.

She's getting better now, and has done little more than eat and sleep today. Well, that and a couple of spectacularly bad nappies! I suspect that this was the real reason for her grizzliness last week, and not an issue with my milk. This cheers me up no end, and I'm pleased to say that she is enjoying 100% breast milk again.

I'm limiting dairy. I don't think it is a real culprit, but it won't hurt for me to eat less dairy anyway. Her skin has cleared up immensely, although it doesn't seem to take much to get it to flare again so we are watching it carefully.

And she's just rolled over for the first time! I just checked on her, and she is over! My little baby is definitely not so little anymore.
