Thank goodness

Such relief - Charlotte slept till nearly 7.30am this morning! What a difference from the last week. Her skin doesn't look as red, still a bit dry and I've hardly seen her scratching. She didn't even mind the cortisone cream. And she is more like herself too...running around and playing, more interested in what's around her than sitting down and watching tv (in stark contrast to Lily who could watch tv all morning and has recently because I've been too tired to offer anything different). Right this moment it's 'Bill and Ben' on BBCPrime (and not the version I vaguely remember from our childhood - this is an updated version). And Charlotte is going through Lily's jewellery and hair accessories box and asking for hair clips to be put in.

Michael is asleep as he was on nightshift last night (6pm-6am). It looks like another mild day (what happened to summer? not complaining though) so sleeping will be easy. He does the same shift tonight, then has a week off. Wonder if we'll get organised enough to go away for a couple of days. It's been too much to think about up till now...
