we went out for a walk

actually, we made it all the way to the farm park. We were late, but that wasn’t much of a surprise, but I didn’t tell dd that we were meeting anyone, so that seemed to keep the excitement level down enough for us to get organised and go.

Did mean that when we got there she didn’t want to talk to her friend, and basically wasn’t overly nice to him at any point in the proceedings. 🙁

On the way home in the car she said “I don’t want to be me anymore, I want to be Small”, which confused me. She had a chat with dp about it, and it was something about wanting to be a boy instead of a girl. I think. Very odd anyway.

Ds is getting a bit heavy for carrying in the sling for any length of time as well – very tired when we got back.

Had a long chat with dp’s father tonight about potatoes – planting them in buckets. We’re planning on doing that this year, I think it’ll be good for dd to have a go at. And I’m quite looking forward to having a go myself.

Still feeling kind of down, but also a bit off colour – having some problems with the breast feeding at the moment, and a bit worried about whether I’m getting complications. Will be keeping an eye on it. Haven’t managed to get anything done tonight, but there you go. Out for the day tomorrow, so don’t need to have any activities planned anyway.
