Nap time

For the third time in as many hours I have taken Michael upstairs for his nap. The mercury hit 25°C here today (it's only April for goodness sake!) and Michael is struggling with the heat. He's been crawling around in only shorts and a nappy. The temperature, along with these blasted top teeth have left him too irritable to nap. However, not napping only makes things worse. After a big feed he is finally peaceful upstairs and I hope it lasts. A neighbour has been cleaning the front of her house with a high-power water jet all weekend and the noise isn't helping anyone.

I have a little paddling pool with a sun shade for Michael so when he wakes up I think that a good ol' splash in the garden should cheer him up quite a bit.

Have you tried a fan? It works for us, and it's a constant 30C here. The white noise from the fan may also help.

We used a floor fan last year to limited success so this year we're going to get ceiling fans. We also have a portable airco unit but I don't really want to have such a noisy piece of equipment up in the bedroom.
