The Princess Returns....

And this time she's bought back up... In the form of little sister Elsie. 

Between the two of them they have firmly reminded me of exactly who is boss in our household, and it isn't me! Heidi has tonsillitis again, and has gone back to her regal ways of lying on the sofa making demands, although she's not quite as dramatic as before, no angel to watch over her this time. Elsie, who after watching Heidi's masterclass before decided she would give a go as well. So she developed bronchiolitis... this was not supposed to happen, Elsie is my easy baby, Heidi is the one who has the ambulance and hospital obsession. Ok, so it's only a mild case, and we managed to smile sweetly enough at the out of hours doctor that she decided we could go to the local A & E on our own, without the ambulance. Once there it was just a case of sitting and waiting, her sats, heart rate and resp rate were all borderline, so we waited until they were just under or over what they needed to be and off home we trotted. On the way out I realised, I don't know the way out, I was so used to being transferred over to the childrens ward from A & E that I didn't know where to go! Realising we'd had a lucky escape I walked as fast as I could out of there, before they called us back.

Heidi and Elsie have spent the days since this crying out their demands, being waited on hand and foot, with tempting foods and lots of entertaining. 

I love my girls to bits and I'm forever grateful for any time that we are not in hospital, and I appreciate that especially for Heidi this recent illness is pretty insignificant, but girls if you're going to keep up this princess lifestyle then how about finding mummy a prince to help out! :)
