T-Bird Anni Rides Again

Aprilia was decidely second-hand for most of today after a rough night coughing.  Wish MediSed worked for her so I could dose her up and let her sleep through.  Anyway, it didn’t start well when she got up just as Duke was leaving adn he didn’t take the extra minute to meet her half way down the stairs to give her a hug.  a Quick wave and blown up the stairs kiss just does not cut it for my CuddleMonster, if you are there, you are available for cuddles!  So she wailed after him having thrown herself down the stairs and out of the door in her nighty just in time to see the car turning out of sight.  This made her cough which really didn’t help.  Much cuddling in my bed (and half a box of tissues) later, she recovered enough to decide she was quite happy to "do school" as long as she didn’t have to move from Daddy’s side of the bed.  I can live with taht you know…..

After Bed Ed came Bed Stories - pretty much a whole day of them!  We alternated between Roman Mysteries and Harry Potter.  It was a pleasant way to spend a day whcih looked pretty wet and yeuck outside anyway.  The standard of language in both was good enough that I can consider them "educational" and I assume that some of the words that I need to explain for her sink in!

I managed to coax her into clothes in time for Rainbows and headed off there.  The second adult was LATE by which I mean 10 mins after the meeting started, she’s supposed to be there 15 mins before.  That meant that I couldn’t go and get all the girls from After school club until late, in fact the teacher herded them all over just as second adult was arriving all flustered thus saving me from needing to explain why I hadn’t gone over!   Paper dolls (from Making Friends) went down really well, took up all the time (meaning I hvae spare activities for another week) and they were so excited to show them off taht we forgot to sing the Goodnight song (phew!  you have no idea how much that pleased me!) 

Bedtime stories were a continuation of the day really along with her making a valient attempt to return the favour and read to me.  She’s now coughing and spluttering herself to sleep….
