Monday 22 Oct
Up early after a less than
peaceful night’s sleep. Went for a walk to my old office to drop something off
for a friend, and to pick up a toy from another friend. That was basically our
day. Walked the long way home in vain attempt to get S to have her morning nap.
Failed miserably so came home and dealt with a grumpy baby who didn’t want to
eat her lunch. Afternoon nap did not go well either, so in the end I took her
upstairs and had a nap with her.
Tuesday 23 Oct
Up early so went into town for
supplies before a visit from a nursery nurse, who came to fix all of our
sleeping problems. Back into town after S’s afternoon nap to pick up the things
we forgot in the morning.
Wednesday 24 Oct
Up early and into town to pick up
what we forgot to buy twice on Tuesday. Our Home Start lady came and played
games with S while I made some phone calls and sorted paperwork. After lunch we
went to see my brother and his wife, who gave S a big black bag full of toys,
as well as one of those zebra thingies for when she is a little older. No
danger of getting S to bed on time so put her in her bouncy chair in a sleeping
bag… she slept like a log til I went to bed.
Thursday 25 Oct
Up and off to the out of town
supermarket to exchange something I’d bought at the weekend. Really it was just
an excuse to get out of the house. S fell asleep while we were walking, so I
took a detour around the park on the way home to prolong the napping. Came home
and spent the afternoon doing not a fat lot. Evening spent rocking her back and
forth in the pushchair intermittently begging her to sleep. Didn’t work.
Friday 26 Oct
A nice little trip to town with
the baby sling followed by a quiet afternoon and another evening like Thursday.
This seems to be becoming the norm and I am not best pleased about it.
Saturday 27 Oct
Long walk with my sister, A.
Workout in the park that hurt both of us, then a walk back again. Cooked stew
and dumplings from scratch and was pleased with myself. S slept through Star
Wars all afternoon. In hindsight I should not have allowed this to happen, as
bedtime was a joke. She actually laughed at me. There has been a lot of crying
and a lot of running up and down the stairs, after I decided nothing but bad
habits could come of having her permanently spending the evenings in the living
room with me.
