We are the house of GERMS

Yep, we ALL now have this horrible cough/cold combo going on which is resulting in a mountain of snotty tissues laying around everywhere and the baby being woken up by one of us coughing EVERY SINGLE TIME he falls asleep.
Im ready for this week to be over already and its only Monday! Im worried because Tsuki is now off nursery until September, thats a heck of a long time for me to try and remember how to entertain a toddler 24/7, with a baby in tow. Not that she spends alot of time at nursery, its just enough to make me miss her a bit lol.
So, in an attempt to make us all feel a bit better, and to keep the house tidy by not being in it (we have our quarterly inspectino tomorrow) I suggested going to the park.
We went to one in Strood that apparently either not many people know about or they just cant be bothered to go there because its always empty. Which is nice for us really as Tsuki can get a bit distracted or shy when theres other people on play equipment and she gets stressed about it.

Sibling love

I really hope these two have a good relationship as they get older, right now they are the best of friends. Tsuki loves kissing and cuddlings with Kaison, Kaisons face lights up when Tsuki smiles at him and he watches her all the time. Its so nice to see. But Im so worried that they will become competitive or mean, or both.
I say this because I had/have a....difficult relationship with my brother. I wont go into why but I do. I just want them to be more like David and his siblings, maybe its because theres loads of kids on Davids side? They all have multiple siblings, I guess theres more chance of having siblings you get on with if theres more of the right?
I want them to be the sort of brother and sister that call each other just for a chat, that remember each others birthdays, that are KIND to each other. I sort of want to pause time on thier relationship right now, keep it like this, just like this.

Camp Nanowrimo update

Ok so, every year without fail I try and do nanowrimo (which is in November) and I always fail miserably and blame it on birthdays and trying to get organised for christmas. So this year I thought I would take part in camp nanowrimo which is the same thing but in July.
So far, IM AHEAD OF MY WORDCOUNT.
This is good, so far, although my storyline is terrible, but nano is about quantity not quality so Im trying to ignore the inner editor in me and just go for it.
Even if I get to the end and realise I wrote 50K words of tripe, its a good exercise to get into the habit of writing often and consistently.
But yeah, Im feeling good about this year :)

This week has gone so quickly!

and also really slowly.
We sold the sofa, and Im currently selling Kaisons moses basket, so that will start making a dent in the 'laptop fund' I forgot to save before I bought my new laptop (oops).
Kaison turned 4 months, which I refuse to believe. Nope nope nope.
Tsuki caught a horrible virus off her cousin and was so poorly on Wednesday. Shes only ever been sick once before but she was sick twice on Wednesday and she cried so hard because it scared her. We took her to urgent care just to get her checked over because her temperature was so high and she was really lethargic (Which is totally not like her). Shes fine now though  :)
She did however give it to me and David, which was not cool.
Kaison has struggled a bit this week with the heat, hes barely been feeding so Ive been giving him a little water now and then through the day just to make sure hes hydrated.

I also decided (stupidly) that I would do Camp Nanowrimo this year, November is always such a busy month for us so I figured July might be a bit easier.
Although having a storyline might have been more helpful...
