Sofia woke up at 5.30am… I tried picking her up and giving her a cuddle before putting her back to bed. She did try to go back to sleep for a few minutes, but it was no use. I grabbed her and tried to have her sleep on the mattress in the guest room with me, but there was no use – so we went into the play room. I did not turn on any lights and I did not read and I spoke with a whisper… We cuddled and she played. Then when it was 6.15 I said good morning in a normal voice and breastfed her. Afterwards I gave her a snack, read a whole book(!) and played some more. At 8am we had breakfast. Sofia was quite tired at that stage, but I kept her up for another 45minutes. She was whinging for just about everything… I put her to bed so she was asleep just before 9am. She slept till 10.15! It’s been awhile since she’s slept for that long :).
When Sofia woke up we got ready and went to the park where we met up with a girl from mothers group we haven’t talked to much, which is a shame because there is only 3 women in the group that have daughters and she is one if them. We had fun and then another girl from mothers group showed up with husband and son. We all enjoyed the babies playing together. They are all very close to walking, so a lot of fun. The other two was was a bit more steady, but they are definitely not that far apart :). When we got back it was still time, and she didn’t seem that tired so we played for a it before I put her down for her afternoon nap. Once again she slept well, for about an hour.
When Sofia woke up it was 3pm. We played and facetime’d with Mormor Jette. So nice to see her, and for once we got to talk for a little bit. Afterwards I made dinner. Tricky, but better than last night. Sofia was hanging off my leg, but I got there eventually. Then I went through the nighttime routine. When Sofia was done in the bath Mike for home and we put her to bed together.
