Dear Adam
That’s right, Mummy is going to try and keep up with these. But no promises!
Today you are 25 months. You spent most of the month between 24 and 25 months ill. But Mummy went postal (sort of) at the GP and you now have been referred to ENT. So now we wait.
When Mummy says she ‘went postal’ what she means is that she was very firm as the GP once again said ‘we need to see how he is in a month or two’ Mummy pointed out that GPs have been saying that to her for about a year. So the GP looked closer at your file and counted antibiotics since January. 6. That’s about 1 a month and is many too many. So the referral was written.
You are also probably going to be referred to Allergy, once I get you in to see the head GP. He spoke to the nice Laura Lady, our Health Visitor, and agreed things seems allergy related but wants to see you himself before he’ll send a referral. Fair enough.
Your 2 year check was fine. You, of course, didn’t say a word until the very end, but you did stack blocks and engage with Laura a bit so she was satisfied. You wouldn’t step on her scale so she took Mummy’s word that you are 28 pounds and about 3 feet tall!
Major milestones this month have included drinking from an open cup: –
And climbing on playground equipment: –
Since you missed so much nursery being ill you’re having a bit of trouble at drop off but Mummy and Daddy know you’ll settle again soon. And they are moving you to toddlers! My good big boy!!
You may note that Mummy has started to call herself Mummy regularly. That’s because you *finally* call me Mummy! Not all the time. But more than you used to. And when Mummy complains that all you seem to say is Mummy Mummy Mummy all day, remind her how long she waited for you to call her anything at all.
Love
Mummy
I wonder if he is ill so much cos he wasn’t breastfed?
Was that suppose to be funny? Or are you really that rude and insensitive?
I’m approving it as I approve all comments except SPAM and some guy who wanted to use my blog for his political agenda.
But you are one rude SOB.
You know, Sam, that is a really rude, insensitive and ignorant remark. For the record, my son was breastfed until he was 1. He had his first ear infection when he was 6 weeks old. By the time he was three he had over 20. I actually lost count at 20. He had tubes in his ears because was speech delayed because of the ear infections.
And if that wasn’t enough, he got his first case of croup when he was 6 months old, and from then until he was 7 he had at least 2 cases a winter. Plus the chronic bronchitis.
You are just letting your ignorance show.
Sam what a rude and insensitive comment to make not all breastfed babies are happy and healthy! I know of many babies who have been breastfed and have had complications/illnesses like Asthma etc and who’s development is not any better than a formula fed baby! I find comments like yours to be horrid and am actually angry I have dedicated time to respond to wind-up merchants like you. Robyn I know you will not waste your time letting this bother you but you have one fine, handsome, and very smart boy and you should be very proud!
Yeah, tell that to my husband who was breastfed for some time, and still ended up in the hospital yearly due to bronchial infections, asthma and what have you. Where as my children who were formula fed due to me having no milk, out of three in the past almost 6 years, only one has had a trip to the hospital for an xray. Oh, they’re all skinny and brilliant too, just to debunk the other things people say about formula fed babies to make mothers feel bad.
