Lazy Day
Duke slept til lunch time, sadly teh cat wouldn’t allow me the same luxury and insisited I got up at 9am! Aprilia arrived back from mum and dad’s just before lunch having had several queesy moments whilst staying with them - dad thinks it’s because she is snotty rather than anything else and I’m inclined to agree, shame you can’t get whatever it was I used to get dosed with as a kid to de-snotty-fy but alas nasty chemical decongestants are now out of vogue and she loaths the smell of Vicks.
Afternoon was spent watching Ballet Shoes (we recorded it, I can see it getting a lot of play) Three Men and a Baby, Cat in the Hat (how rubbish is taht film?) and something else as well I think. Oh, yes, she played on teh Digital Art Studio and merrily printed out a load of stuff. Throughout this I knitted hence I have finished the baby sleeping bag for my niece’s soon-to-arrive baby (I made it a 6 to 12 month size in case it took too long to make…) and also russled up a silly looking but extreemly warm hat for me!
She went to bed without a whisper of complaint at 8 and we’ve heard nothing from her since. Which reminds me - sleep training for 7 year olds? Any suggestions? I’m getting fed up of her rattling round til past my bedtime then being grumpy and over tired the next day so I’m going to have to get strict about bedtime which is a shame as I would prefer a more autonomous aproach but she’s just not getting enough sleep on her schedule so I fear it’s time to impose mine. Sigh. Speaking of which, it’s way past my bedtime too!!!
