Glimses of the old Celia

Celia is now very "wobbly" as she calls it and naturally gets upset when she falls over as she doesn't understand what is happening. A few times it's happened on the stairs so now I'm terrified she will go head first down them and have instructed her to go on her bum like when she was a baby!
I took the three of them to the park yesterday (again on Celia's insistence) but she fell just getting from the car to the grass and then just lay there. It was packed as it was a public holiday here and I could feel everyone staring at us thinking why has that terrible mother dragged her obviously very sick child out of the house. Anyway, Max had good fun running around like a lunatic and impressing the girls with his gymnastic expertise as you can see below.
   I think I might have done my back in at the park, however, as I had Mabel in the sling and was lifting Max onto the swings and lugging Celia around. Why didn't I get the double buggy out!?
In general, Celia is in better spirits and yesterday was back to her caring big sister role for a while (asked me how many mls Mabel had drunk from her afternoon bottle and was checking her nappy!) which is such a relief cause on Wednesday she bit Max' lip and Mabel's finger, both unprovoked, which is so unlike her.
We had another blood test at Sandringham hospital today and it went much better than last time so that is great news and a huge relief for the nurse who told me she hadn't stopped thinking about the carnage she had caused on Monday, poor woman!
My next worry is Celia catching Max's cold. Mabel has caught it and I can feel it coming on but amazingly Celia has yet to get it. I sooo hope I haven't tempted fate by writing that!.....
