Sleep strategy

Well, we decided something had to be done, so yesterday we made Caleb's day as perfect for a toddler as it could be. He was to be stimulated and indulged in an effort to a) reassure him we hadn't forgotten about him now that we have Elodie, b) soothe his mind, and c) tire him out! So it was decided that since we aren't going on holiday we could splash out on season tickets to Cotswold Wildlife Park and Caleb could go and see the crocodiles again! I stayed at home with Elodie so that he could have Daddy's undivided attention, and to paint the ceiling in his bedroom ready for a galaxy of glow stars. They had a lovely time seeing everything again, and looking at the things we didn't get to on Saturday, and they did a couple of rubbings- a crocodile and a tortoise- to bring home (obviously they were brass rubbings, they didn't go chasing after wild animals with crayons!) And Caleb very bravely stroked a goat. Sounds like they had a lovely time, and he was too busy enjoying himself to notice he was forfeiting his nap!


Then when they got home he was allowed to watch Star Wars, and had burgers for dinner, and got to have Postman Pat bubble bath. He went straight to sleep, didn't wake when we went to bed, and slept all the way through! And he's been in a lovely mood this morning. HOORAY
