On Valentines Day….

……it was a day of mixed emotions.

Firstly, Amy has a heavy cold and kept me up 2 nights in a row, screaming and whingeing (and she wasn’t much better either!). I am so tired that it was inevitable that I was going to be emotional on Meg’s first day of preschool. She was so eager to go and I was so eager for her not too. She is such a delight to have at home – always happy and smiling and helping out and easy to keep entertained.

So I dropped her off and she was very brave, but at the last minute she held my hand and whispered “I’m going to miss you Mum”. Cue Mum for tears welling up in eyes and time to go! When I picked her up she ran into my arms and was full of chatter about what she had done, which painting was hers and how I only gave her 2 things for morning tea and everyone else had 3 things. Get it right next time Fran!

So the rest of the day has been tough with Amy screaming, not sleeping, and not feeding from my left side. It is now really sore and I can’t work out why she won’t have it, unless she has a sore ear on that side and it hurts to lay down. She had a go in the Jolly Jumper yesterday – I wanted to get her used to putting her legs down and putting weight on her feet. She still holds them up high like they were in the brace. She had about 10 minutes and was going OK until Jess came along and gave it a huge push which sent her swinging. Ovr the past 4 days she has been having some rice cereal and it is like she was always meant to eat – she got the hang of it pretty quickly.

So as for Valentines Day itself, it is pretty much a non-event here. I was lucky to get a kiss as Justin raced out the door this morning. I guess I could get a phone call to say that Dinner is taken care of but I think I’d be dreaming!

Hope everyone else had a lovely day 🙂

PS – Holly’s loose tooth is hanging by a thread. Maybe the toothfairy will be coming here tonight.

  1. Aww Meg looked really cute on her first day of pre-school, you did well to hold in your emotions that long, I nearly cried reading about it! I am sure Amy will get the hang of the putting her feet down I suppose having the brace off must feel very strange to her. I hope you get some sleep tonight!
    Love Caz
