Hmm, ’tis a bit cold today!

Had to buy Holly a school beanie this morning and I almost got one for myself. Amy has a heavy cold and woke today with snot caked over her poor little nose & cheeks and cried when I had to get it all off. Nasty business.

Jess’s birthday is 6 sleeps away and I have no idea what to get her. If there was a remedy to keeping her in her bed at night that would be it. She keeps crying out and wanting to sleep in our room. I think this is the age of night terrors, as I remember both Holly and Meg doing the same thing. It is a bit annoying now though because I have just got Amy sleeping though and now Jess is up every few hours! Go figure.

I have begun to think about returning to work. I am a bit over doing housework all day everyday and am getting a bit frustrated within these four walls. 2 days a week would be perfect – anyone know of anything!! My dream job is to test the newborn babies hearing before they are discharged from hospital, so I have sent a few emails to put out some feelers for what is available. Meg’s preschool teacher just asked me if I would do a talk on hearing like I did when Holly was there. It’s a sign!!

Jess has a few funny sayings at the moment. Out of the blue last night she asked Justin
“Daddy, do you miss me when you are at work?” Jus thought I had put her up to it! She also often asks me ” Mum do you know what I am thinking?” And I say a string of things like
“That Mummy is the most beautiful woman in the world?” “no”
“That you love mummy very much” “no”
“That you want something to eat?” “Hmmmm, yes!”
I think she is getting to be more aware of her ‘self’ and is figuring out that she is part of the world and becoming less egocentric. Funny age this 2.5-3yrs. So much development.

Ok better do a bit of work while I have the chance. Enjoy the cold!
