Poor Willow has been very sick with a virus and I have been by her side day and night for a week. It was so sad to see her beautiful spirit disappear along with her energy and bodyweight. Very worrying too but the hospital kept telling us she wasn't dehydrated which was the main danger in this heat. I was so worried about the fact that she wouldn't eat that I used a syringe to put carrot and honey puree into her a couple of times. Thank goodness all is well now, she is back at nursery as of today and has a good appetite back. So now to clean the house and linen of vomit and bile stains. Pleasant...

This was Willow's attempt at doing her makeup (pre-illness)

And this is her trying out her new big girl pants....

See how big and bonny she was......

This is her now (post-illness)...




Over the weekend I managed to sort out the terrace and make it useable again. It had turned into a tip very quickly with lack of attention by me. So I'm pleased with the result and we now have a lovely space to enjoy again....

I'm having a do nothing day today to recover from the weekend. Willow's party was delightful. Everything was perfect. I only had 3.5 hours sleep the night before but that's the way it goes!
It was worth it!





Here are all my photos from the party....

This is the beautiful birthday girl the day after, she wanted to continue being a fairy....
