Week of wierdness

This week has been quite odd in that Cath has been on steroids, so emotionally she has been all over the place. It has been a real rollercoaster for her: sad and clingy one minute and then bouncy and cheerful the next! Poor thing. Once Cath has had enough, she now goes and sits in bed under her duvet until she feels in a better mood. Yesterday she put herself to bed for a nap, just because she was fed up of being grumpy.

We've had some good times though, as we have been off for the school holidays. Catherine has started making up her own songs now and putting words to them. Yesterday, she decided to sing a song about Jesus and it was very funny. The lyrics were 'I love Jesus very much and I don't want them to put him in a cage...'. I've heard about putting God in a box before, but never Jesus in a cage. Original, don't you think?

We went to the cinema today as Catherine has neutrophils, and she saw her first 3D film. The big glasses dwarfed her, and she felt like a big girl as she had her own seat! She really enjoyed most of it, but was a bit scared of the octopus in the film. Also, there was footage of a flying needle which Catherine always reacts to (she hates any sort of needles now), but she soon worked out that it was only part of the pretend film. She also found it odd that some children were scared of the octopus, and others weren't. I think she is working out that not everyone feels the same about everything.
