Poorly

The new term didn't start quite as we'd expected; Neil came back from a weekend in Denmark in lots of pain and, after a day of frustrations and not getting very far with the GP, ended up in A&E and subsequently having his appendix out! Bless him! He doesn't do poorly - he's never ill! After three days in hospital he came home and has been a pretty good patient, mainly because he's had to be - he really can't do much at all. I was able to spend quite a lot of time at the hospital because Sylvia came to stay (hot off the plane from holidaying in Croatia) and looked after Matthew which was wonderful. Here is the little man with his Grandma...


And this photo is of Matthew having a tantrum, something that is becoming a more frequent occurance - it's obviously hard work being 16 months old.


They generlly occur when Matthew's hungry or tired but he really does get quite cross and throws himself around - can't imagaine where he gets it from...Anyway, this proves (for Jo P) that Matthew isn't always smiling!

Hey there! That is whole new expression that I don't think we'd seen before! Classic photo! Hope you guys are ok, Neil, get well soon! Lots of love, Ems and Dan.xxxxx

Wow, so Matthew is normal after all!! Poor lamb, he looks so sad. Scarlett is quite a drama queen these days, and I sympathise with you having a child who throws himself on the floor - we have head-butting the floor too!
