so I’ll blog quickly instead.
Can’t face waking her up after the evening she’s had, crying for hours due to tummy pains 🙁 Poor little mite. Thankfully she doesn’t seem to suffer from that level of pain very often, not sure the carpet would take the pacing otherwise!
Anyways, that isn’t what I was going to blog about. Instead I was going to quickly recount our week and weekend away, at sherwood centerparcs and then on to stop with my parents.
Centerparcs, when we finally got there, was excellent. We were too late arriving for a swim on the first evening, which caused tears, but we managed plenty of pool time in the rest of the week, with various of us swimming twice on Tues and Weds, and once Thurs and Fri. Small declined swimming on the final day, but as he’d pretty much cracked the independent in water thing by then I didn’t mind. He’d given up on his ring and taken off the float jacket and discovered that he could swim both on top and under the water. Very happy boy.
Lovely to spend time with various friends. It’s been a long time since I’d seen anyone apart from Em out of this group – obviously as they were all meeting soa for the first time. She was on best behaviour and gave me 6 hours of sleep three nights running. Hasn’t kept it up since then, but hey, it was lovely while it lasted.
Small managed playing with Bb with only a few fall outs which was a huge step forward for him. Next we need to really get to grips with not hitting ppl 🙁 Big enjoyed her time with Sb, although with her it’s use of the word stupid that ruins her relating time. We are trying to get through to her that one of these days when she treats ppl badly they are not going to come back for more. Hm.
Highlight of the week for her I suspect was the birthday gathering where she was given a DS. She was overwhelmed by it, and really just didn’t know where to put herself. It’s been well played with since, and as she’d asked for money towards buying one from family, she’s been able to order a game already as well 🙂
Think soa just enjoyed being around ppl, she’s a genuinely sociable baby. Dunno where she gets it from 😉 And like I say, I enjoyed catching up with friends. BK, twitter and facebook just aren’t the same as a cup of tea (or a glass of wine 😉 ) and a chat.
Was going to write about the family weekend too, but it’s rather late now, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
