It’s been raining! For those who know what a desert Cyprus is during August will undoubtedly be gobsmacked. Weird. But totally welcome. Just hope it lays low tomorrow because we’re off to a waterpark!
Have a lovely weekend. x

let’s play
Right before my little dude got horribly sick, we had enjoyed a windy, yet lovely late afternoon at the beach with my sister and the kids. it’s so hot, only late afternoons here make it bearable being outside. I knew something was brewing when he woke up during the night and then wanted a nap the next morning. As I’ve mentioned before Georgie has stopped napping in the morning so this was odd behavior. By noon he was boiling hot and a quick thermometer incident said it all: 39.8! WTF? I know it’s not that high but it’s still high, you know? Throughout the day he was miserable. Apart from the first moments when the paracetamol would kick in. I am proud to say that Georgie hasn’t needed antibiotics so far- yes, I know I shouldn’t go near them with a bargepole and yes, I just knocked on wood- so giving him Calpol wasn’t something I was comfortable with but I chose that route. What does that say? That I am all for giving my baby all kinds of bullshit? No. I just believe that it kind of eased the pain and kind of worked. And I was ok with that. It was a rough night but we got through it. My little man is kind of special, you see. Having a friend close by helped, I think.
I will forever remember our pediatrician telling us that Georgie was special. I know. She probably says that to everyone but I really do believe her every time she tells us he is progressing and developing at a speedy rate. He’s always been a busy bee. Full of life and energy. That curiosity he had, demonstrating it at only days old when he would lift his head off my shoulder- i am not exaggerating-, he still possesses. It’s inspiring and amazing to watch.
Just like me, I’m guessing you too spend a lot of time in the supermarket checking labels and trying to remember figures and statistics. It’s horribly depressing and frustrating especially when all you have to worry about is the health of your kid! I wish I could say Georgie eats nothing but fresh produce. No canned stuff. Nothing that contains ingredients I can’t even pronounce. But I would be lying – shamelessly hang of head. He loves these caramel waffle biscuits- organic, naturally- and a lollipop – a nail-biter half an hour- every now and then so i would hate to restrict him to just fruit as a snack when he’s on the go.
First, thank God papa convinced me to get an iPhone. I am on fire on Instagram – even if it is only for my 15 followers. Boohoo- and having so much fun documenting Georgie’s life even MORE! Over the past three days we’ve done more shopping than will ever be admitted, gawked over these super cool mini ducks, ate a delicious homemade organic beef bolognese, cottage cheese with canned pineapples- which are not as bad as I thought- and messed around with our jumbo pot of chalk. Aside from the chalk breaking into a gazillion pieces, I can’t really complain. Having great music in the background helped take off the edge. oh and we also took our new pink pram for a walk……..
