My big little girl
Today was so different to yesterday as to make me wonder if someone has done a kind of reverse changeling operation on my daughter overnight. It didn’t start well – I had a bad night with Small. He’s got this thing going that if he manages to wake up before I come to bed, and…
Finally got Small to bed…
but boy did it take some doing. I think my next project for the year is going to have to be sorting out his sleeping patterns – I’ve just spent two nights away from home, and I didn’t get any evening time without children to talk with adults. Hohum. Apart from that, the weekend was…
How much activity?
Forgot to blog yesterday that I’d had a call from a lady we met at group on Wednesday – Big and her daughter had really hit it off, in fact C had dissolved in tears when we left. So I gave her our phone number and asked her to call. We arranged to go swimming…
Party time
and it felt like a gathering of the blogring with a few extras thrown in 😉 As mentioned elsewhere, the party was for Alex and B, and in attendance there was us, Jan and co, and Sarah and her tribe as well as a couple of other home eddors and some non blogging, non home…
Quick post
As I’m giving up for the night. Thanks to Y and D for their hospitality – we went back to theirs after group today. Also nice to catch up with C and her daughter. Big had a lovely time playing with someone else’s dolls, and Small had a lovely time playing with someone else’s cars…
Oh, I wish I had batteries in my camera…
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…
Friday, Brewsters and home again.
Bumbled around this morning feeling sorry for myself – extremely stiff and battered. The children were fine – Small had three bowls of rice crispies and two bananas for breakfast. Took me a cup of tea and a shower before I felt even half human. So I have the answer as to how to get…
Thursday Jorvik and National Railway Museum.
After a really terrible night (the children took it in turns to wake up screaming, or lie on my throat, or just generally disturb me) we got ourselves organised and took the bus into the centre of the city to meet up with Joyce, Kath and Tech at Jorvik. I’d not met Tech before, so…
Wednesday in Scarborough.
I’d planned an early get away. I’d planned to pack the night before. What actually happened is that I fell asleep next to Small when taking him to bed, and didn’t wake up til 6.17am, still fully clothed, with no packing done. Ah well. Accordingly, it was gone 11 by the time we left. A…
a muddlepuddle group.
And before we got there, I managed to do two loads of washing and the washing up! Big is recognising more and more numbers, although we have some extreme creativity in reading them. Today she was discussing speed limits, and spotting the numbers on the signs. I think that something has obviously clicked for her,…
