piece of random advice: something I got shown when I had middle child in hospital with bronchiolitis is that you get a tube of sterile saline solution (our local chemist sells them for about 70c each) and drip it up the child's nose (I do this with child on lap, or lying on bed) - just a couple of drops every now and then, which helps to clear out the nose. I don't always remember, but it does help.
pharmacies also sell special squeezy bottle things that are supposed to help with clearing out little noses, but I can't remember what it was called. I only used ours a time or two, but it was good on those occasions.
and I'd be in on some planned fun. I had grand plans of going to the zoo this week, which somehow fell in a hole. Would be interested in doing it one afternoon, but I have to work out what our post school activities are (still need to sort out basketball, which I think I've been saying for weeks!)
