the nutty professor ;-)

Yesterday we hosted our weekly "Babes Club". Our activity for the afternoon was to make things from pipe cleaners... the moms all had a good time making bees, snails, flowers and spiders which the kids then took off to swim. Today when Zara saw some spare pipe cleaners she asked me to make her some glasses - she then wore them for a while whilst playing with her toys...

we just love Noddy

For the long weekend, we went down to Durban. Zara and Riley took to each other instantly and soon discovered their common love for Noddy. A good deal of the first afternoon was spent reading Riley's Noddy books together...

nebulising...

Poor Zara has had an allergy cough since the allergic reaction she had while were on holiday in Ballito. The cough and excema flared up a few days after the rash cleared up and the cough particularly didn't seem to worry her too much until she got flu two weeks ago. Chris is fed up with the coughing, so, I took her to the physio again this week. After checking Zara three times, she assured me that the lungs are CLEAR - hooray!!! but that the allergy cough could take quite a while longer to clear... I was also advised to nebulise her at least once a day for the next two weeks as this could help clear it all...

Knowing how much she hates having the mask on her face, I didn't really want to put her (or me) through the trauma. However, last night I had a brain wave and let her sit on my lap watching "beebeeies" before bath time. The distraction worked like a charm and there were no tears!!!!

Fingers crossed for tonight's session ;~)
