This week has been a quiet one. Busy at work but fairly quiet at home, just the routine of the week that chews through days until suddenly you are at the weekend again. It can't come fast enough at the moment. Three and a bit more weeks and the mancub is on holidays. He will just make it I think. His school shirts wore twice a week for a year are getting very tired. He will last with shoes but his shorts are starting to leave marks by the afternoon around his waist. Yes he has grown a heap this year and must be in a spurt of growth at the moment. He is now 126.5 cms (95%) tall and 21kgs (25%), so he does still look tall and thin. It is just his body type. I will get a photo of him with his Uncle Ben when he comes out from London next week. They are the same.
Today after school we went to see the doctor (hence the accurate stats above) because he is getting loud and having trouble hearing some of the time. It isn't age appropriate selective hearing because he is as likely to not hear "Levi, do you want an ice cream" as "Levi, time for a shower before bed". The doctor said that he has some fluid in both ears but it is resolving. He said that I could ask the teacher if there are problems and then we could work out what to do. He said that it would likely resolve in a month or so. So instead of polishing my 'Mother of the Year' award, I elected to do exactly - nothing. Checking him and getting things organized for school will take more than the few weeks left. Likely it will be resolved before school starts again at the end of January and we will have time to decide if it isn't resolving. So, nothing!
We are just warming up to the frantic season, but I am mostly done with Christmas shopping. I am planning to stay a long way away from the stores in the next month or so, but still there is a lot going on. There is a lot at work and a lot at home. There is a lot here and a lot in USA, but it will keep things interesting!
