Day 6 and already ill

So I've started off the new year with a lovely little cold. I've have trouble with my sinus so when I get a cold it spends most of its time there.

Being a parent and being ill has to be one of the most challenging things, I'm torn between not wanting pops to catch it and wanting to just lay in bed and sleep... none of which look likely to happen.

How to you balance kids and being sicky?
Also, if you have any tips on how

Taking herself to bed.

Last night, at 8 pm I decided it was bed time, pops hadn't had a nap so I knew she would be sleepy but I didn't imagine this would happen....


I stood up and said time for bed pops, grav a teddy... She didn't. I picked up her duvet (don't ask why it was downstairs) and Right then pops started walking towards the stairs. (Has to be a coincidence????) Nope, up the stairs she goes with me following behind holding the duvet. She gets stuck by her bedroom door (the stuff she poured out the box earlier that day) I helped her past it all and she walks over the her cot and I put her in, duvet over, music on and sleep... until 6 this morning. I know 6 is early but pips hasn't been sleeping the night lately anywhere let alone her own bed so that's in the deffinate WIN book.


Has your little one ever taken themselves to bed? How do you get it to continue??

Dreams.

I've always had really vivid dreams (expect in pregnancy, which is weird) and I always have to tell the person who was in it (if I know them) I don't know why, I think it's because if the dream felt so real then maybe somethings wrong in real life? Last night I had a pretty terrible sleep and kept waking up. I ended up having a dream about an old friend... I don't remember the dream that much but remember being really worried about him. Although I have vivid dreams often I have a handful of dreams I've had that I will never forgot... The sort of ones that you can reply in your mind in so much detail it could have been a film you watched last night. Have you ever had a dream that you'll never forget? Good or bad. Do you believe dreams have meanings? Let me know.
