Toxic house?

Is our house toxic? Are bacteria and viruses lurking at every corner, waiting to attack when they see fit. It sure feels like it. One of us has been ill for over 4 weeks now. From Gastro, to colds to croup to throat and chest infections, we have had a plethora of ills. I can only hope this is the last of it, and we can enjoy the upcoming silly season in good health. Roland and I can cope, but it is awful when you baby is crying with exhaustion because he is struggling to sleep due to having a horrible cough and a runny nose. End whinge!

This week has seen Brodie starting to stand all by himself and take his first very tentative step alone. He has yet to repeat that task, I think he scared himself when he realized that he was “going it alone”, and promptly fell to his knees with a strange look on his face J He gets so very excited to be standing by himself, and grins madly, which is usually followed by some very loud cheering from Mum and Dad! He has also discovered the word Ouwwwe, and uses it frequently. Very cute.

Granma arrives today to stay with us for the week. I sure hope she has her sleep bank in tip top shape and has boundless energy. I wonder, does she know what she has let herself in for ……… :-)
