Small and Tim have gone to sleep on the floor, sharing a pile of cushions, so cute! Back in a mo, when I’ve taken the one I can still carry up to bed…
Right. I’ve got my nappies rinsing through, I’ve had a beer (goodness knows why, I really fancied one, but now I feel slightly queasy 🙁 ) I’ve loads to do tonight and I want to get to bed before Small goes into the wake up screaming routine, so I’d better crack on.
We’ve had a pretty nice day at home today. Y and her son D from the Chesterfield group came round for a playdate – D is about a year older than Big, but they’ve really hit it off. All the kids did the slightly excited shy thing which was very cute, but they got over it very quickly and the two older ones cleared off upstairs to play leaving us to chat and amuse Small. Really nice to have the chance for a proper chat and to get to know someone a bit better – group meetings don’t always work too well for that kind of thing.
Don’t think there was as much as a cross word between the two children for the several hours that our visitors were here, we had lunch together and they didn’t go til 2. Lovely. Of course, once they’d walked out of the door, Big turned into a raving maniac, but that was only to be expected. She did a little more work in one of her JP books, but she is really avoiding the page with words on. 🙁
So we read several books – must fit more of that into the day – and then watched Adam Hart Davis and his local heroes (Dunlop, Romsey and someone else today) and then Horses Empire on National Geographic. Well, the children and Tim did – I retired to bed for a quick power nap. The last two nights Small has had what I can only describe as night terrors – and once he’s woken up from them, he doesn’t want to let me go, quite literally. I find it rather difficult to sleep with a small child lying on my throat, so I’m having very disturbed nights.
Unfortunately, while I was having my power nap, Small decided to have one of his own on the living room floor, which is why I’ve only just managed to get him off to bed. Hohum.

Put batteries in your camera!
Absolutely – nothing like catching a bloke asleep for a good web picture. I always like to put up the ones of max having “quiet one to one time” with various daughters! ;~)
Joel always avoided the pages with little patterns on !
