Week 76 saw the beginning of a very bad health breakdown for the Warren family. Joseph's ear infection came back - along with a temperature and conjunctivitis. So, we did the right thing and kept him home from Bear Park for what ended up being a week...we tried to go back to see Mr Baber (ENT surgeon) but his nurse recommended that we book in for grommets. We kept him home so that he would be in the best shape possible for the operation.

In the meantime, I came down with conjunctivitis as well as tonsilitis (the GP did suspect glandular fever but that blood test came back negative) and Dan had to look after the entire family. It was a bit of a nightmare to be honest.

Joseph and Dan went to the park every day, sometimes twice a day. Joseph has really got into the animals and now makes the right noises - mooing, baaing, neighing and crowing. It it quite sweet.

Here's a selection of pics showing Joseph "talking" to the chickens.




There are lots of interesting people in the park who are always up for a chat. Here's Joseph getting to know some malamutes.
