Sofia woke up crying again at about 3am. I went in and rocked her in the chair until she was almost asleep… then I went back to sleep. When she woke up crying just before 6am Mike went to get her. We watched some clips in bed until about 7am when we had brekky. Mike went to work. Sofia and I played for a bit before we went for a play at a playground. Sofia got to try a plastic tricycle, but she couldn’t get it to work the way she wanted so she had a couple of tantrums. I thought it was best to give the bike back he he.
When we got back she was soooo tired she could hardly stay awake – so I quickly gave her a snack and put her to bed. She fell asleep pretty quickly, but she was only asleep for an hour! I tried to get her back to sleep but she refused so I got her back out. She ran around for awhile and then I tried to put her back in. Big mistake – she wasn’t taking that! So I got her back out… She then had filled her nappy. As I changed it she decided to roll around, kick etc and poo ended up everywhere. I lost the plot and carried her out to the bathroom where I yelled for her to stay there. I then ran to clean up in her room. I instantly regretted yelling. When I got back into the bathroom she’d wet the floor and was stepping around in it. I put her in the bath tub, cleaned up the floor and told her how sorry I was. I said mummy had been naughty and that there is never any reason for mummy to yell. I was very sorry.
When I got her out of the bath we played and had fun. Then we took the euro trike for a drive and Sofia went exploring around our area.
When we got back we played for a short while and then Sofia watched a bit of Frozen whilst I made dinner. Mike got home before it was done and we ate together. Afterwards Sofia had a bath and went to bed.
Today Sofia pointed at the fruit bowl – she wanted a banana (the pronunciation was pretty good). Then she was saying she wanted more. She’s getting very good at letting me know what she wants.
Sofia woke up crying a couple of times during the night…
Fun at the playground and exploring with the euro trike

Really a little helper.
Mona I was through the same yelling and saying sorry. At the moment it is jus a reaction. Now I don´t think it is any harm. I think it is no better holding in and the child can´t figure out what is wrong with you – why are you frustrated? I now think it is ok to show – and tell………And it is a good way to learn that everybody should say sorry.

No wonder Sofia is tired, she did the washing and that means a lot for such a little person…..-:)
