Finding the starting post

For a while (about two years) I've been thinking of writing a blog for my son nathan. The reason I haven't is that I haven't known where to begin.

So much has happened in his two years of life that it has been rather overwhelming. Therefore I have decided I will begin from this point. I am sure much of his journey will end up being woven into the posts that follow. Sometimes we need to begin with where we are at and follow the paths that are revealed.

Nathan is on the road to recovery. He has been very ill with Bronchilitis/RSV (nasty virus) the past three weeks or more. As he is still coughing he is partially under quarantine. Unfortunatley this means no playing with children his age who have low immunity and no visiting newborns. Very sad as I am sure he would love to see his new baby cousin, Jasmine Hope, especially as he has recently learnt how to sign 'baby'. It is so cute to watch him fold his little arms in front of him when we mention the word baby.

As it is a wet day he has been home playing with his Daddy, who is not long home from a few weeks in Indonesia. No MOPS (group for mum's of preschoolers) today due to his cough. He has been playing with his helium get well balloon. It is slowly deflating but has provided much entertainment. I wrapped my fluffy scarf around him and he was most impressed with the feel of fluff on his mouth. He looked very snuggly indeed. Maybe some cuddles from Nanna and Poppa are in order later today!
