I almost forgot to write today’s entry! But, thankfully for all concerned, I didn’t.
Wee Daftie has a half day on a Friday so it seemed like a fun opportunity to have lunch in town and get our steps in while enjoying the Museum.
We have visited this museum regularly since my girl has been old enough to walk. There was definitely a time where we would visit and she would literally spend her time climbing up and down the stairs.
I’m not being colourful or trying to be endearing. I have very real and fond memories of toddler Daftie, still on her reigns, tasking her little legs up and down the stairs. I think we once did the same staircase several times over a twenty minute period.
That doesn’t sound like a lot but, trust me, it really, really is when you don’t know when it will end.
But isn’t that just parenting? Not really knowing how long the latest phase will last for? Sleeping well, sleeping badly, clusterfeeding, the witching hour, loving Thomas the Tank Engine, being afraid of ants, teething, loving pasta, hating pasta, loving eggs, hating eggs, loving pasta again…I think I’ve made my point with all my very real examples of things I’ve been through since becoming a Mammy.
We had a really lovely two and then some hours mooching around the museum. We don’t really explore so much anymore as we both know it so well. And the favourite part I think changes with each visit.
Today we both really enjoyed the fashion, clothing and textile section and learning how to build a pyramid in the Ancient Egyptian bit.
We started heading for home once we had seen all we wanted to today. We know we can always come back so nothing is ever really missed. It was a lovely afternoon for walking so we took the long way to the bus, while admiring the blossoms in Prince’s St Gardens.
I may have mentioned it before but I love Edinburgh.
We made it home in good time for a chat with my sister and youngest niece before dinner and the Repair Shop with Daddy Daftie.
Can’t believe we only have a handful of days to go. I have a lovely idea for our last walk on Wednesday and I have some other plans hopefully afoot (pun intended).
Thanks for walking with so far. Let’s make the last few days really count!
