Wordless Wednesday - Typical Tim!

Flying Solo

A big event happened in our family this weekend!

Big

Huge

Significant

&

Scary

.....and that was just how I felt!!

Tim took his first trip to visit our family in England ON HIS OWN.

Yes - international flight!

I thought it would be a good idea for him to spend some time with his cousins and Nana and Granddad  so in my wisdom suggested it. 

He was very excited. I drove him to the airport on Friday night, checked him in and even went through security with him. I then handed him over to an airport staff member who took him through to the gate.

He traveled as an escorted minor and my mum and dad had to sign for him at the other end.

He did great. The flight was just under 2 hours. He said it was very bumpy when it landed which made him a little nervous since he was on his own. The highlight was that when he ordered himself a sprite whilst in the air, the air steward did not charge him - free brus is always a winner for any eleven year old:).

(this is his - 'do not take my photo - I am ignoring you' face)

He is now on his way back home after a fun filled weekend in England. He has spent lots of time with his cousin T. and been spoilt rotten by his grandparents. I do not think the word no was on the agenda.

However, he has been missed. I for one am very ready to have him home. Tae has also asked at LEAST 3 times everyday if we can go to the airport to pick up Tim.

So count down begins, and lets be honest all the goodies my mum has sent back with him are a bonus too!

Sickness:(

Tim has been sick.

This is quite unusual - he is rarely ill, but when he is, he tends to go all out!!

He started Wednesday night feeling washed out and not quite right. He went to bed at 6pm and slept through to morning!!

Thursday was a trip to the fire station with his class and he happily went off to school. However, by the time he got home at 2.30 he was washed out again and went to bed for a 2 hour nap.

Friday he was full on ill with a stomach bug and a temperature. 

It was very hard to even get liquids in him:(

So lots of sofa and TLC time.

Tae didn't like to see Tim sick and curled up under the blanket with him for cuddles while they watched TV before he went to bed.

Let hope he doesn't get sick too.
