More fun!
Well, yesterday we rounded off our week of trying to see absolutely everyone we know all at once with a lovely afternoon spent with our best buds Dave and Rhiannon. Sadly, we didn't get to see our beloved Sam because he has Chicken Pox and is convalescing (sp?) on his grandparents' farm in Wales (doesn't that sound like a 19th century doctor's prescription for recovering from one too many attacks of the vapours?!) But we still had fun and Dave got to play lots with Caleb, which I think got all those tickles out of his system in Sam's absence. It was exciting to see a pregnant Rhiannon at last, and there was much boring baby talk, but mostly we just caught up a bit, and listened to funny stories from Dave's crazy life! Caleb was also thrilled to receive some belated Christmas gifts (we really don't see them often enough!) and Elodie got a lot more cuddles and attention than she is generally used to!
However, I think all this entertaining has been a bit much for the kids, Elodie is resolutely refusing to go back to her routine- which would be fine if she was happy in one of her own design, but actually she's just miserable and doesn't have long enough naps to make her feel any better, they just give her enough strength to howl a bit more. Caleb also had a lousy night last night, thankfully he didn't disturb Elodie- two feeds a night is quite enough- but in the end he couldn't get back to sleep, and as a consequence he and Daddy got up at an unearthly hour, his nap was not long after breakfast, and he was in a pretty odd mood by dinnertime. Wierdly, he never made it out of his pyjamas despite the hideously long day- our fault for buying Shark PJs!
I should note that despite getting a very small amount of sleep last night Mark generously let me sleep all morning- and he used Caleb's naptime to touch-up some paintwork I'm too inept to do, then this afternoon he took Elodie to get her immunisations. What a perfect husband he turns into in the holidays!
No photos I'm afraid- I gave up after blogger failed to upload them three times.
