Mouth Sores Are A Pain.

The husband and I were battle-worn soldiers at the end of the day and it showed in our tired rosary at the end of the day.

Our little man struggled with not being able to eat his favourite foods today. He requested noodles for lunch and burst into tears, screaming, when he realised it hurt too much to eat any of it. We have an expanding list of food to eat when he's better, that he says will feature all in one meal:

- Pizza 

- Noodle soup

- Blue cheese and crackers

- Miso soup

- Bolognese pasta

Yoghurt, smoothies and ice blocks sustained him today.

His response to the inability to eat is revealing what a foodie he is, and a savoury one at that. 

The littlies enjoyed a bit of messy play thanks to our neighbour who brought over some baking soda ice cubes. The addition of shaving foam, vinegar and food colouring made for a solid 45 minutes of engaged play.

It's an uphill struggle at the moment, but there is hope in remembering that this too shall pass.
