A more challenging week

We have had a challenging week with Riley, not helped by his new wake up time of 5:30am. He is not a child to go back to sleep... sigh.... The latest supplement is working for him with our biomedical approach. Unfortunately it was giving him a lot of regression for a number of reasons so Mum was pulling her hair out. But we are back on track and I no longer want to adopt him out :-)

Jemma is sort of walking so don't get too excited by the newsflash.... She doesn't choose to but if you hold her hand, she will walk a great distance. Otherwise she drops to her knees. She is talking and singing lots- she also likes the action songs. Her sleep is back to normal but then tonight we noticed red cheeks and wonder about those molars... however, our fingers are crossed tightly.

We are loving the fact that the kids are growing up and we can return to a semblance of the life we once had. Peter and I ran a race as a team in the weekend and the kids tagged along easily and saw it as an adventure so we are feeling quite positive about future endeavours.

The bottom picture is the kids next door helping to build a pirate ship and have waves beside it rocking it. Great imaginations and a lot of fun to be had... the vintage coffee table (recognise it Mum?) needed some leg adjustment afterwards but we figure it is standing the test of time.
