J is doing much better. The last couple of days she didn't eat a lot or nothing at all (she dropped almost a kg, back to 13kg again). So this morning at 5am she wake up because she was hungry. After I got her something to eat, she couldn't sleep anymore! So it was a very early start of the day. We did try to get her to sleep again, when that failed ( Read more... )

J was still sick at home today. The kind of sick she just lies and sleeps a bit and doesn't want to eat, drink or play.

So Wednesday was the day: Taco Time with Tomo. Actually for me it was already Thursday, because it started at midnight. I went to bed at about 21:15 and got up again at 23:45. I really just wanted to stay sleeping, but I got up anyways. Tomo had a couple of friends and his family over and they made the tacos and several side dishes. His dog was ( Read more... )

Today I let J skip school so we could go swimming together. On school days I have to wake her up at about 7:45 or 8:00 to get to school on time. And of course today I had set no alarm clock and she woke up at 7:00 ( Read more... )
