He semi-seats now
Smiles/chuckles at his brother's jokes every day 
He explores through his mouth, rather than fingers. Those golden fingers are reserved for the mouth too. 
Big brother Tobey is fine too...a few weeks back he can swim by himself on the back...It's more like floating to me. He's very proud of himself nevertheless. He's into stickers now. Daddy indulged his new hobby by getting him Star Wars sticker book. I've been spending ages with him completing the pages with the correct stickers. Now I know about Anakin, The Imprerial Trooper,Chewbacca and Padme Amidala as if I grew up with them. He's been trying to read more too. SK attended another meeting with his key worker yesterday. Quoting Mrs. Garrick: "It's such a change to see a boy that is happy and independent all the time".Also, (just so that I remember this episode, as this is not the usual virus) during the end of his half-term holidays, he was down with Hand, Foot and Mouth (not to be confused with Foot and Mouth from the Pigs. This is a common childhood illness according to the medics here). Mild fever for the first night and then ulcers in his mouth. (He's been having a very bad habit of putting things in his mouth again, for some strange unknown reason. Maybe he's trying to copy Euan. Probably got the germs from there). This is a very contagious illness, hence I kept him home from school and also away from Euan as much as possible. Eating and drinking brought him to tears for two days. All he could take in was yogurt drinks. He even said NO to ICE-CREAM. Sometimes he would ask for his favourite food, only to cry after the first bite, as he had forgotten about the ulcers. He lost so much of weight. No more rosy cheeks (that is like his 'health-o-meter'). On Day 3 I forced SK to get something from the GP to relieve the pain so that he can eat, else I'll die of heartbreak. GP gave us this spray to numb the ulcers before meals. Also an anti-viral for the thrush on his tongue. Those medication were God sent. Tobey could eat and hence got much better. He completely recovered on day 5. After a good talk with him about germs and how it got to him, he now know not to put his fingers or toys in his mouth. Also to not KISS his school friends!!! ( I caught him doing that one day and was gobsmacked). Only kiss your parents and Euan!

Poor Tobey! Luckily he's better now. So heartbreaking to see him crying in pain isn't it? Really lucky that your GP is understanding enough to prescribe something for him to ease his pain. SW is having fever for the longest time - she's getting better today but it's also the 7th day now. It started last Thur - high fever for 5 days.
Yes, only kiss your parents & siblings. I also am trying to ensure SW doesn't simply get kisses from her schoolmates(my friend tells me her son kissed SW few wks ago but she didn't tell me that).
Hope SW gets completely well very soon :)) Must be a super virus to take so long for her body to fight off. Must be hard for you too. Take good rest yourself. We mummies have to be the healthiest one in the house.
Boys been kissing SW?!!! Oh dear! cannot!hahaha! Yeah must tell her to defend herself from those silly boys.
EEEeeee! I want to hug them both, ML!
So funny reading about Tobey and SW kissing other kids - the innocence of a child.
