Sofia woke me up at about 6am. Mike got her and brought her back to bed. We watched something and cuddled until brekky just before 7am. Afterwards we all went to the beach so Pablo could run with his friends. We put her in a carrier for the first time in a long time – she was on daddy’s back. Then she ended up in mine… Sofia walked in the sand, and occasionally picked up something, but went straight towards the park, the playground and the swings. So she was on the swings for awhile. Then we walked back. Sofia wasn’t too keen on being on my back anymore but we got almost home and out of traffic before she was let loose. She didn’t want to hold my hand on streets with cars however so it was back to carrying her.
When we got back we left Pablo, gave Sofia a snack and then went grocery shopping. Sofia wasn’t very happy being in the trolly in the beginning, but there was soooo many people and we didn’t really have time. Sofia got on with it which was great – she didn’t even protest that much. On the way home she almost fell asleep in the car.
When we got back Mikes friend Al was there waiting. He brought a present for Sofia – soooo cute! It was George from Peppa Pig :). Sofia loved it. Then Nani Claire dropped by for a few things whilst Sofia had her lunch. Then Sofia had to go to bed and Nani went home.
Al, Mike and I had a swim in the pool. Sofia slept for 2.5 hours! When she woke up she had a snack and a play with her toys and Al :). Then Mike and Al went surfing with Mark whilst Sofia and I played and read books.
I came to find Sofia – she was in the bathroom with a toilet roll, pealing off small pieces and placing them on the floor and in the bath tub.
Sofia also got in proper trouble for the first time. She went to step on Pablo and I told her not to. So obviously she had to look me in the eye and step on him. I grabbed her before she stepped on him properly however, and I told her no. I placed her on her chair and I told she needed to sit there as she’d been mean to Pablo. I know she probably wasn’t getting what was going on – I just wanted her to know I wasn’t happy and that there was a consequence. I tried to get off a few times, but then sat… she asked me to get off once and I said no, so she sat… (only for a minute). I told her why she was there and then I said she had to tell Pablo she was sorry. Then I said to give Pablo a cuddle- and she did straight away :). Only minutes later she climbed onto his back whilst he was sleeping on the floor and was ‘riding’ him. Poor Pablo groaned and tried to get up. I had to lift her off him. Poor Pablo.
I read a few books and we had a play before I reheated dinner and cooked up rice and quinoa. Sofia was loosing it by then. I go to find her and she’s on top of the lounge table!!! She’s starting to scare me. The two first times I lifted her back down she climbed straight back up. She then kept hanging off my skirt and whinging until dinner was ready.
Sofia had so much to eat! I filled her plate completely, then she had two small refills if rice blend and one of vegetables. When we had finished Mike and Al got back. We all said goodbye to Al and then we put Sofia in a bath before bedtime.
Sofia spent a long time falling asleep. She had put the music on her dog, but she might not have wanted to? It looked like it was keeping her awake instead of putting her to sleep. The music stopped after about 20min but then she started it again. She threw the dog around and suddenly she threw him off the edge. After that she fell asleep pretty quickly.
