It's been another busy one as Husband was away at the start of the week and Daisy went down with yet another cold – poor litle thing. Trying my best to spead the attention evenly and keep all the girls happy.
Monday – Poppy was upset on way to school. Had another word with her Teacher who says she is fine as soon as I go. I then went for coffee with friends. Daisy wasn't right most of the day. She was very tired and whiny but couldnt sleep. it carried on through the long night with Husband away.
Tuesday – With Daisy fast asleep in her car seat I took Rosie to the usual music group. She enjoyed singing and dancing and a bit of my attention. Then i managed to get both girls to nap at the same time for 1 1/2 hours. I actually spent time blogging and a hot cup of tea…lovely.
After school our friends came for dinner and to play. A mad (all 4 children hyper) but lovely evening and looking forward to doing it again soon.
Wednesday – a quiet day at home after a long night. Rosie was terrified Santa was coming into her bedroom last night and got up around 10x. Told her he won't be going anywhere near her, that if she is good he my leave some presents downstairs but she still was worried.
Thursday – with Daisy on my back in the baby carrier, I took Rosie to Tumble Tots. Rosie loves it and really joined in with the singing and dancing bits too. When we got back I was hoping to get both girls to bed again but it didn't work out 🙁 the day went downhill and I was glad to get the older ones in bed.
I was tired, stressed out and covered in baby sick when Husband knocked at the door, one night early!! Yippee I was so relieved and excited. Ended up staying up late. Rosie then got up another 20xs scared of Santa. Not good!!
Friday – We stated the day with stay & play at Poppy's school which was good but then Poppy got upset when I left. Had a good chat with her Teacher and she is really pleased with her and thinks she's just tired at the end of term.
Tonight we went to Blooms, our local garden centre which has a soft play area and has been done up for Cristmas. I thought it might help Rosie but she didnt like any of the decoration, think she was worried Santa might appear! Poppy loved it though.
Saturday – This morning I took Poppy out for a hot chocolate and a bit of Mummy time. We had a lovely chat and she says she likes School, the teachers and Children but misses me and is tired. Thank goodness it's almost Christmas. Our friends turned up then and joined us which Poppy enjoyed too.
This afternoon was Poppys 1st ballet show and she really enjoyed it. I was upset she had to wear make up…..she looked too grown up. We are going to watch tomorrow's show – very excited.
Sunday – I woke up feeling dreadful sore throat, runny nose and everything ached. No wonder daisy has been so grumpy. She actually had her best nights sleep last night but Poppy got up 2x (unheard of). I am running on empty.
This afternoon was Poppys ballet show and she was a little star! She danced in front of about 300 people. I was very proud.
I am a very run down, tired Mummy at the moment but love my little family and don't want to complain too much.
