The Toddler Diaries 'Sleeping beauties'
An early start to the day, Bethany woke up at 5:30am but was persuaded to go back to bed until 6am when Daniel got up with her. Consequently, Daniel left the house on time, on his bike for the second day in a row. Are you impressed, I am. If I'm honest I thought he'd only last a day. Even the rest of the motley crew was ready and raring to go at 9:30am, so it was out the door and up the hill to visit Niamh. It's not really a big hill, but it feels it when you're pushing a double buggy with a baby and two rather heavy children hanging off the front and back. I'm sure these buggies are not road tested with children in them. They're only easy to push when there's nobody in them.
We had fun at Niamh's, painting, playing with trains, stroking the guinea pigs and in no time at all it was back down the hill (much easier) in time for lunch. Big mistake repeated from yesterday, left Bethany alone at the table to finish her lunch. Not a good idea but Caleb was asleep, she takes ages to eat her lunch, and I wanted to get a few jobs done. Yesterday she took a bite out of nearly all the cookies, today she covered herself in yoghurt and did a wee on the chair. Ended up giving her an impromptu shower to get all the yoghurt out of her hair.
Decided to head off to Tesco to get a few bits. Bethany amused the lady in the queue behind us when she told her that she loved her bag. On the way home was merrily having a conversation with Josh & Bethany in the back when I realise it's all gone quiet. The combination of an early start and a busy day and they've all conked out. Transfer Josh and Bethany to the sofas where they carry on sleeping, Caleb wakes up so talks to me whilst I'm making pizza. Bit of a dilemma, am enjoying the piece and quiet, so don't really want to wake them up, but don't want them up all evening instead. Eventually woke two grumpy sleeyheads up at 5:30pm. Bethany was back in bed at 6:40pm and Josh stayed up a bit later to watch the Incredibles with daddy and Caleb, the first all boy viewing!!
