Wee Daftie only woke once last night! The blackout curtain is working well as she is settling herself down to sleep so, so well. It works so well in fact that when she wakes needing a feed, I have to do this awkward shuffle to her cot to scoop her out, crab walk to the bed, sit and feed her, edge back to the cot and then try to put her back the correct way round and not to stub toe on the retreat. Fail final step every night.
Wednesday is baby sensory so we set off nice and early. I frequently joke that my girl is stubborn like her Mammy but today’s class prove to me that my instincts are entirely accurate! Picture the scene. A big canvas in the middle of the room with lots of lovely different fabrics, finger puppets and stuffed toys scattered about. Plenty of rubber duckies, balloons and bubbles for the babies to interact with. Cue Wee Daftie crawling away from the action, sitting in the middle of an empty space, looking at her toes.
(She did join in later) ((When she wanted to)) (((Stubborn)))
After class, Big Human came to pick us up and we took a daytrip to Glasgow. We thought it would be fun to have a family trip as Big Human will be heading back to Aberdeen on Friday for an unspecified time. It was a lovely drive, a bit soggy in places but also lovely views of snow topped mountains.
There is only one thing happier than Daftie with a spoon and that is a Daftie with two spoons…
Thanks to baby-led, feeding her in public is a messy but gratifying production. We just plop her in a high chair, offer some bits and then we all get to enjoy our time together.
Steps achieved quite nicely thanks to wandering around Glasgow. Took in a bit of culture, did a bit retail therapy (Big Human may have found his happy place) and ate a whole heap of food, before whizzing home via the Kelpies. Very excellent day. Happy Achy Mammy.
