Yesterday was another lazy day with a very cranky Toby. It was a very warm day too, but all Toby wanted to do was sleep on the bed which was quite a hot place to be. Andrew set up the fan to help move some air around which helped. Nathan also had a sleep in the afternoon which is very unlike him.
Both Andrew and I had had enough of Toby being clingy and cranky, and just wanting Mummy to sleep with him all day, and only having very short happy periods throughout the day. It was very windy this morning and the forecast was for showers and cold days for the next couple of days, so we made the decision to go home a couple of days early. We are onto day 6 of sick Toby and it hasn’t really been a lot of fun. Now that he has a rash all over his body I’ve finally diagnosed him as having roseola which is caused by a herpes virus (of course I could be wrong, but it looks the same as when Nathan had it when he was little).
We packed up the trailer, said goodbye to the two couples we have got to know, had a last visit to the river and started driving back to Melbourne via the Barry Way and Cann River. We have never been back this way and it is really very pretty.
We made a couple of stops on the way back for the kids to stretch their legs at playgrounds at Bombala and Cann River, we had a short walk on the beach at Marlo along the mouth of the Snowy River before it started to rain, and we had fish and chips for dinner (Toby’s choice) at Bairnsdale. The rest of the trip home was uneventful and we got home around 9 pm.
