Oh WO, it´s always horrible when it comes time to leave, isn´t it? Even more so if it´s where you really, deep down, want to be Thank goodness we live in the age of webcams and email and phones, was saying to my mum´s friend that sometimes it´s a bit lonely and she was telling me about when she was living in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country with her two little ones and her husband working away, just like my mum. And then they didn´t have satellite tv, videos, their own telephone, email or anything...eeeeek. Now THAT would be boring
(don´t you just love older generations´ ´aaaah but WE had it so much worse´ stories? )
So have really made an effort with a bedtime routine, bath, short massage, quiet time and story and last night he was asleep by 9.15pm. We still let him fall asleep on the sofa because the last time we tried to leave him in his cot there followed 1.5 hours of hysterics (on all sides...). So, for now, just sleeping is good, I´ll worry about the WHERE later . Up at 5.30 for a feed and back to sleep and still asleep now at almost 9am
Was so cute last night, I was feeding him lying down on the sofa, me on the inside and him on the outside. Dh came in from work and I said he was to do the story so he went and got one and sat down next to us. I said to wait til I´d finished feeding but contrary bugger that he is, just started reading. As soon as he heard his Dad´s low voice speaking to him in Catalan my nipple just PLOPPED out of his mouth and he stared at me and then smiled really slowly and THEN sloooooowly turned his head fully round to stare at dh. And then gave him a big smile! Awwwwww..dh nearly cried! lol
