Soccer Night, and a Crazy Week

[przed]

The disadvantage of being the coach, is that you can't skip a game when your kid is sick.

Ros came down with a fever on her birthday, Saturday, and has been down with a horrid cough ever since. We were all hoping she'd be good enough to at least hang out on the sidelines while the Sweetie did the player rotations, but her fever spiked at dinner and she just lost it. So I coached solo, though fortunately with the help of one of the other dads.

On the positive side, we actually won! 3 - 1! We were pretty well matched with the other team (which was coached by Ros' coach from last year) but we managed to get past their goalie a few times more. Yay!

The Sweetie has been home with Ros the last two days, so I'm taking over tomorrow. And taking her for visit number two to her doctor, since the "oh, I'm sure she'll be fine in a few days" we got on Monday clearly isn't working.

Yeah, I was THAT CHILD that didn't like the special nice flavoured syrups... Heh, she was good - my brother had migraines and couldn't swallow tablets so
she crushed them up and put them on a slice of toast and jam!

I *loved* Calpol though (is that a thing in Canada? strawberry flavoured infant paracetamol liquid) - worth being ill for! I was so pleased when I got bigger and the dose went up from 2.5mls to 5mls *g*

You could read to Ros about Jason getting an antibiotic shot in the bum in the big Take That In Private book - might make her feel she has some advantages? *g*

Your mum was clearly a genius. I'm rather glad Ros isn't THAT CHILD. *g* (Not that there's anything wrong with being THAT CHILD. *g*)

We don't have Calpol, but we've got berry-flavoured Tylenol, which I'm sure is pretty much the same thing. Ros says she really likes it too.

I'd forgotten about Jason and his shot in the bum. I've informed Ros about it and she just gave me a sceptical look.
