I am taking part in Donna from What the Redhead Said’s Living Arrows – which is a celebration of childhood!
We could all do with a little more celebration in our lives!
To quote Donna, “The project originally took its name from a poem by Kahlil Gibran,
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” and every Monday we share a moment (or a few!) from our week which captures a moment of childhood
Week 9
I have never been so glad to see the back of a week, as I was with last week!
On Monday, we had snow – lots of the stuff. As my other half’s company had needed repairs, which is never straightforward; we had a car which needed new brake pads and discs, so he took mine to work and we were stuck in the house! As you can see we tried to make the most of it.
That night, Little E wouldn’t settle and he was boiling hot.
We had a playdate organised with a friend and their little one has type 1 diabetes, so I decided to take little man to my mum’s, a mile away, to ensure my friends little boy wasn’t compromised by E’s fever.
Unfortunately in the two hours he was at my mum’s he got worse and he had a seizure.
My mum called and told me to come round immediately, I still had no car, so R and I ran there as fast as I could, to be greeted by an ambulance. Thankfully he was conscious again, but shaking like a leaf.
We spend the rest of the day and evening in A&E and the paediatrics ward whilst he was monitored. They couldn’t find a source of infection and he was refusing to wee, so they sent us home with packs to do a urine test at home.
Thankfully that came back clear, so they’ve said it’s just viral and we have to ride it out. We’ve never had any worries with the little one health-wise, so this has really shocked me. He’s not left the house in 6 days; if only I could keep him inside until Spring!
So hoping my next update is a bit more of a positive one as he is looking and feeling better by the day!

Week 8
A rather cold week! We decided to go for a welly walk on Sunday at the local RSPB centre as we were just sick of being stuck in the house thanks to storms!
It was so nice to finally get out!

Week 7
I’m all messed up with my weeks now as forgot to link up on Monday again 🙈
I don’t get many opportunities for a picture of us, I’m sure many of you can appreciate that! So when the eldest agreed to a picture, I ceased the opportunity. Unfortunately it was the turn of the little one to be less of a willing participant this time – but poor little man had been a little bit poorly because of his teeth.
One day! 😀

Week 6
I managed to get a picture of the three of us! Wahooo! Unfortunately, the little one was still a little under the weather about it and less than impressed!

Week 5
A bit of a rubbish week for us, especially after such a great week last week! Both of the boys have been poorly this week, which I am blaming on airplane germs! It isn’t nice seeing them all sad and lethargic, is it? So we had a plan free weekend, with exception of a ‘quick’ trip to Ikea, which ended up being an entire day ordeal thanks to queues of traffic – I think everyone else had the same idea!
R was probably chasing sleep after a week of siestas and watching the hotel entertainment. So was just a little bit run down.
Little E has not been himself at all. Running a temperature and cries if you put him down. He wasn’t his usual sociable self, was such a noticeable change in him.

Week 4
We’ve had an absolutely cracking week, as we’ve been in Tenerife for most of it! The weather wasn’t the best for a few days of it, but it was lovely to leave the day-to-day grind behind and just have fun as a family. It was little E’s first time abroad and he adored everything about it. He had decided he was going to talk to everyone on the plane except us, had high fived quite a few rows of the plane before take-off, got himself a little friend from Holland named Zachariah, with whom he tore up the mini-disco every evening and managed to make himself known to the majority of the entertainment team despite being too young to participate in anything.
RLT adored the splash park and just being outside in general, which we haven’t been able to do for a while thanks to the good old North East weather! I’m not sure we’re going to be able to top this week for quite some time!
