Bad night and playtime at Chipmunks

Sofia woke up at midnight. She had been stirring and occasionally whinging the last hour, and then she cried. Seems she couldn’t get back to sleep. When I went in I changed her nappy (very wet) and gave her some pain relief. However she seemed to think we were going to hang out and have a chat. At 12.45 I think she finally got the point and started trying to put herself back to sleep again. She was quiet for 15min so I went back to bed, but I had only just got into bed when she started crying again. This time I picked her up and we cuddled in the chair, and she fell asleep in me. Unfortunately she woke up as I tried to out her back to bed. She rolled onto her stomach and seemed very upset I had out her down. I ended up getting into the cot with her. She finally fell asleep and at 2.20am I went back to my own bed again. She then woke up crying at 6.45. Mike and Pablo had gone for a walk and got back when I was making breakfast. Mike went to work and Sofia and I played for awhile. All of a sudden she pulled herself up on her walker, pushed it out from the wall and started walking! Then she got so tired I put her to bed. It was 9.15, and she only slept till 10am.

When Sofia woke up I got us ready and out the door. We went to an indoor kids play area called chipmunks. Sofia loved it! Two a but older girls (3-4 maybe) kept touching her, stroking her skin, tickling her, giving her toys and then they started wanting to move her around. That’s when Sofia had enough and I had to kind of meddle in a bit. We had lunch there and then one of the mothers from mothers group finally got there (her little girl had played longer and slept longer). We chatted for a bit whilst our little ones played. Sofia even, without much coaching, crawled through one of those fabric tunnels that twists when she saw me in the other side. No fear :). Then I said we should go as I knew Sofia was tired, so we started saying goodbye and Sofia started whinging… Yeah she was very tired so we hurried out of there. 2 minutes out of the car park and she was asleep. So… I drove around until she got the sun in her face at a set if lights and woke up. She did at least get 45min although I wish it had been more.

When Sofia woke up we were almost home. Food had arrived, so I tried to unpack with the help of Sofia and Pablo. I gave Sofia bobble wrap (my favourite he he). When I was breastfeeding her afterwards she was rubbing it in my face and I thought it was a bit moist, but no more than I would expect. However, the smell! She had vomited a tiny bit on it and was rubbing it in my face!!! Nice one Sofia ;). We played together for awhile before it was time for dinner. I let her eat by herself again. That’s all she wants now. It’s ok at dinner because I just strip her down to her nappies :). Then she had apple and blueberries to pick at afterwards. All of a sudden she didn’t want apples ha ha. Mike got home as I was running the bath and running around with Sofia. We went through the nighttime routine and got Sofia to bed. Sofia protested and cried a bit going to bed. She also woke up crying at 8pm. Mike went in and she cried for a little bit afterwards but then managed to put herself back to bed.
