Day 264

Oh Em Gee. Penultimate day today! Where has the time gone? Utter madness. 

Another good night from Daftie and no sleeping in! Which was useful as we were off to the new playgroup we started going to last week. It is such a lovely group and one that I plan on going to as often as possible. 

One thing that really made me do a wee Mammy Moment dance was watching Wee Daftie interact with one of the volunteers, a lovely woman called Joan. Daftie and I haven’t​ spent a lot of time apart over the past almost 9 months. With one thing and another, my girl hasn’t really been much out of my care, even for an hour. I can’t say she is clingy but that’s only really because we haven’t yet tested those waters. She certainly has her clingy days, especially when teething, and she definitely likes knowing where I am. Through Joan’s encouragement, I sat with another Mammy Mate and had a cup of coffee and just let Daftie muddle on. She did occasionally look over but was very content to play and chat with Joan. 

May not be much, but it was big for us. I want a raise her to be confident, content and courageous so it is reassuring to see glimpses of what can be. 

Speaking of courageous…

After the play group, another Mammy Mate and I went for a huge big walk down Leith Walk, along Great Junction St, past Ocean Terminal and half way home. Not going to lie, as soon as my wrist tracker started flashing, we hopped on the next bus home! Managed to get the 10,000 done before we made it home for lunch. Get in. 

Same day, same face, different table to lean on…

Thanks to our epic walk, I was able to have a nice afternoon at home with my girl. We had a picnic for lunch, did some more washing together (cos let’s be fair, a Mammy’s washing is never done) then lots of singing and stories. Such a great way to spend my second last day of my challenge.

Today’s dinner was brought to you in conjunction with, you guessed it, vitamin drops! Two days in a row! I am the greatest. Ish.
