I haven’t written about my boy in what seems like an age. Recently he has been poorly. He caught a cold shortly after starting school then acquired a rather fruity cough. That was two weeks ago. Last week I had to pick him up early from school because he kept having coughing fits. Amy took him to the doctor who, surprise surprise, said he was fine. Last week he fell asleep on the train after school and once he got home vomited profusely in his bed. A day later, a few more vomits and lots of washing he was as right as rain. The cough is better now, before he was waking in the early hours such were the ferocity of his hacking fits.
Today Amy and I attended his first parents evening. I think Jake was a little worried about this because he kept saying that he wanted to go with us. However, all was okay. Jake has fitted in well with his classmates. He is quiet and well-behaved. Works well on tasks but sometimes has a problem listening(selective hearing anyone!). Overall he is doing brilliantly. My little star :-). We saw some of his artwork in the classroom. He had painted a red bus and had drawn a spiders web in preparation for Halloween.
I must mention before I go an amusing incident while reading Jake’s bedtime stories. Jake started to yawn then said “Daddy my yawn is not coming, why is it not coming?” This escalated and he got quite upset because he couldn’t finish his yawn. I told him that the yawn will come and not to worry about it and yes, it did come and then he was happy with the result :-). I’ve just yawned while writing about yawning. Must be time for bed. I have Ghost Town from Lovefilm to watch. Not sure how far we’ll get into it as it is now 10:30pm. Night night.
