A cold and a bang to the head

I got up at 5.30am and took Pablo for a walk. He was sooo excited and kept pulling. We walked to Kings beach where we met up with Maja and her dog. We then all walked a bit further than Shelly beach before turning around and heading back. When we got home Sofia had just woken up and was watching something with her daddy in bed. She’d woken up with a massive cold poor girl. Sofia then had weet bix for the first time whilst I was in the shower, but didn’t seem to be much of a fan. Afterwards Sofia and I cuddled on the sofa for a little while before she started running around. I was in the kitchen cleaning up and talking to Mike when we both heard this big bang from the lounge… We just looked at each other in horror, and then Sofia screamed/cried. We got there pretty much as she started crying. It looked like she’d fallen off the sofa arm… It was horrible! She has never cried like that before – it must have taken at least 8-10 minutes before she stopped crying. I sat down with her to try and see where she was hurt, and I was asking out loud (not really expecting a reply) and she pointed to her head… She had a nice red bump at the side of her forehead. Mike had a tree person over to tell him about all the trees etc we have around the house. We’ll use them to help us get rid of a lot if it. Afterwards Mike left for work and Sofia let me know she wanted to play, so I guess she was feeling better. I took the opportunity to get some more food into her as soon as she’d ran off some of that energy. Once again I hear something and Sofia’s crying – I ran like a crazy person and grabbed her. Turns out her ball had gotten stuck underneath the table! She was clearly not feeling well… After her meal (she had quite a bit this time) it was time for her nap. She hid behind the high chair and I realised her bum all the way up to the waist was wet etc. She had properly filled her nappy and it was going everywhere. I had to put her in the bath tub and wash her down before I put her to bed.
Sofia was not happy at all going to bed. I rubbed some eucalyptus gel on her chest, used nose spray (which she let me do!), used the gel under her nose as well. She would not let me go and was freaking out so I stayed with her. She fell asleep on me in the chair and then I put her to bed. It only lasted about 30minutes however!
Sofia woke up crying, realised she was alone and cried even more. I got her. She was not having anything to do with my attempts of going back to sleep or even laying down…. so I brought her into our bed. She refused to lay down and insisted in watching something. Usually I would say no, but I guess it thought she was that tired (she clearly was) that she’d fall asleep watching …. but that never happened. Then I realised she’d wet our bed. Not sure how it went through the nappy as it looked ok, but once again I had to clean up the little girl and put the clothes in the laundry. Sofia grabbed me by the hand and wanted to play. I was sooooo tired myself and I played for a few minutes only. I let Sofia play for a bit longer and then I decided to try putting her back to bed as it was almost 2pm. Sofia flat out refused and spent the time in bed either protesting or playing with her teddies, so I brought her back out again.
This time I let Sofia play by herself whilst I started on dinner. Then she came into the kitchen with the frozen DVD, so I put that on for her and made her a snack jar with cucumbers and tomatoes – which she loves. She ate it all!
When dinner was ready I came in and watched for 20minutes with her and we cuddled for a bit. I plated up dinner and Sofia had quite a bit. Afterwards it was bath time and then bed time. She started freaking out as I put her into the sleeping bag, however when I told her we still had a book to read she calmed down. By the time I had read the book and was singing she seemed ok and went down into the bed with no complaints. I put a pillow underneath her head before I left and she seemed to appreciate that. Mike got home after Sofia was asleep at about 6.15pm.
