Soggy Saturday, sleepy Sunday

Well, we foolishly decided to brave the wildlife park on saturday, so we got rained on! It was so heavy nobody (and no animals) wanted to be outside. We had managed to see a few animals before the heavens opened- and lots of owls for some reason- and we did the reptile houses, so it didn't feel like a total wash-out.

Caleb hasn't been settling, has been refusing naps, has developed a fear of the dark, and has been doing a lot of night-waking and early (4/5 a.m.) mornings. So we're all shattered.
