pr mmmm - duck sounds lovely. Got any grapes? So pleased to hear you are all well at last and had fun.
vq hope your Sunday has got a bit better.
Eliza sounds like you're doing brilliantly. Keep hanging on in there - hope you get home soon.
mm good luck with the phone calls. If needs be we can always offer you an expletive overdraft to get you through to sweary Wednesday (iPhone just corrected that to sweaty Wednesday - we'll save that for mr detective though). Well done on the hire car cabin bf.
We went out to lunch today for MIL's 60th, which was lovely, though I was sat opposite my very nice but ultra conservative and traditional fil and g doesn't take a bottle so I also had to exercise my bf balls of steel. I used a cover but it was still a bit awkward. Dh was great and subtly made it clear he thought feeding in the restaurant was absolutely fine which helped smooth things, as I think the ILs mainly worry about what other people will think. Less helpfully g was spectacularly unsettled, which didn't support me in my quest to feed subtly like an unflappable pro. Now we are home I think he has an ear infection as his right ear is warm and he's clawing it. Could be another bad night, with a trip to the docs tomorrow if he's not better.
G is getting really interested in toys now. Which is great fun, but was less than ideal in the restaurant as in a refreshingly normal piece of toddler behaviour dd decided she desperately wanted the only toy that was occaisionally settling him. It was a really nice meal out but I did feel like I was wrestling 2 noisy crocodiles for most of it.
Thanks for more very sweet and helpful messages re dd. Noisy crocodiles asside it was great to get out for a bit of normal today with our lovely family and remember how much there is to celebrate.
dreamfeeds - none here - if he's asleep for a bit that works for me!
Night all, see you in the morning or in a couple of hours if we all run out of luck.
Bring on restful Monday - I wish!
