This week has been a bit of a busy one for the girls. Ballet lessons started again and they’ve had a few play dates too. All lovely but the end result was three tired girls.
Husband and I have noticed they have all been unusually snappy with each other and don’t like it at all. Daisy in particular has had a hard time with the other two shouting at her a lot but has been giving as good as she gets by shouting back and bopping them on the head! Definitely not the way we want our girls to behave.
Anyway this weekend we have enjoyed a very relaxing quiet one to ensure they are all fully rested for the week ahead. We have spent quality time with each of them doing lots of creative and fun activities they enjoy. We have also had a really good talk about the importance of being kind to each other. We have asked them not to shout at each other but to speak nicely and the naughty step is back in force if they ignore this. Fingers crossed it sinks in.
Here’s poppy looking very tired after her very busy week:
