Dr Pixie warned before that children reaching 2 will start to push the envelope with you. Caleb turned 2 this January. But this post isn’t about him. Last night I smacked Caitlin- the grab-her-arm-so-she-can’t-run-away smack; the night before Hot Mummee smacked her too. I have had long car-ride talks with her about being the big [...]

Did your toddler develop a fever and then a rash 3 days later?
August 22nd, 2009 · 4 Comments · A father's POV, Ailments & cures, Caleb the heir, Dr Pixie says
Caleb did. When he first developed the fever on Sunday, we didn’t think much about it, only perhaps he’d caught something; maybe from his sister. But you wouldn’t know it. Caleb has been running around being his cheeky self, toddling around in circles at tv jingles, walking after HM when he sees her, playing and [...]
Nappy rash
January 24th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Ailments & cures, Caleb the heir, Dr Pixie says, Ergonomics, Parenting rules
Talk about sitting on it. About a month or so back, due to bad parenting on our part, we had neglected to ensure Caleb was changed quickly and often enough. It’s “interesting” that being in contact with urine long enough creates such a reaction on human skin. At first we weren’t too sure what the [...]

The healing begins..

A quick update. I took this photo last night, and sent it to Dr Pixie. It’s not as painful as it looks. In fact the only feedback I get now is that it is ticklish! It looks shiny because of the flash on my camera. It is actually dry, but the “new” skin is smooth [...]

The scalding site : blister popped
January 11th, 2009 · 3 Comments · A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Dr Pixie says, Ergonomics, Photo opp
Caitlin took this shot, among others, after the last post regarding the burn site’s blister bursting. I think it should get easier managing the site now, since there is nothing left to burst! It wasn’t easy ensuring the site was kept safe from bumps and other small mishaps. We’ll just have to make sure it [...]
The Scalding Site
January 9th, 2009 · 4 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Ailments & cures, Caitlin the heiress, Dr Pixie says, Photo opp
A short update post. Don’t mean to gross you out; and it’s not as yuck as it looks.. These were taken by Caitlin herself with my phone. Don’t know what prompted her to, likely cos she was just toying with the camera than intending to photo-document it. Still, it will effectively be what they are. [...]
Scarred for life

There are a few things in life that you kinda expect to happen to you; and when you are a parent- to your children. You expect them to fall down once a while. You expect them to get hurt once a while. You expect them to get a bump on the head, a cut there, [...]
