Okay - day 3 of positive thinking and being thankful: 1. Richie is not in hospital :) He is still quite unwell, but the temperatures have gone and is breathing isnt worrying me as much today. Im so grateful to be at home! (Side note: the hospitals have been awesome when Ive needed them and thank goodness for their attentiveness to my Richie bug-bug) 2. Im blessed with an amazing mother-in-law. She always comes around when Im feeling a bit lonely and without me even asking. Yes, she lives next door, but for those who dont know, next door is ten minutes away and she doesnt drive, so on cold and wintery days that can be quite an effort! 3. And here Im outing my parenting fail for the day: Richie seemed much better this morning, so I rugged him up nice and warm, put him in his wet weather suit and took him off to the beach for a play on the sand. Arrived at beach. Richie wanted to go on road rather than beach. Convinced Richie to walk towards beach. It appears he may have a weird seaweed phobia. Got through seaweed. On sand - let go of Richie to zip up bag and put down. Look up. Richie is in ocean. Richie trips over in ocean. Tiny wave breaks over Richies head. I run into ocean and retrieve completely soaked son in front of disapproving onlookers. We return home immediately. Positives: the sea water is surprisingly temperate for this time of year. Richie didnt mind his misadventure. Squishy socks are funny :)
