Sofia woke us up at 10.30 last night. Poor thing was really crying… So I went in, that didn’t help so went in again… and that didn’t help so Mike went in… and that didn’t help so I went in again. At midnight I went back to bed….<\/p>\n
At 6am Sofia woke us up again. We read books, had breakfast and played until the morning nap which ended up being at 8ish today. She slept for 40minutes, so I ended up taking her to mothers group (only three other girls were there). Whilst I was getting ready Sofia decided she didn’t like being alone, so I had to take her with me through everything I was doing. By the time we got there and said hi I realised I had forgotten Sofia’s bag (with nappies, change of clothes, toys, food etc) – so I left the pram with the girls and took Sofia with me to get the bag. When I got back to the girls I fed Sofia and then we had a little bit of play time before we all went our separate ways. I had to be back at 12pm because Nani Claire was coming for a visit. Here is a video of Sofia playing with Sammy<\/a><\/p>\n When we got home I put Sofia to bed, but she was tired and started crying. I knew it could be awhile and possibly risking her getting over tired if she didn’t fall asleep soon so I decided to nurse her. She fell asleep, but then Pablo woke her up with his barking. Nani Claire was here, and I realised I had forgot to leave the door unlocked for her to get in… so I got out (whilst Sofia screamed in the background) and let her in. I apologised and went back in to Sofia. I nursed her again, and once again she fell asleep. As soon as I put her down in bed however, she woke up! So… I ended up going in and out for a long time whilst Nani Claire was waiting patiently and making lunch for us. After about 2 hours I finally got Sofia sleeping, and she slept for 1.5 hours. In the mean time Nani Claire had made us banana splits – yummy – and we had a nice chat :). She had brought a quilt and a little pillow for Sofia – just beautiful colours and cute bird pattern. When Sofia woke up she got to try them out – and she loved them! :). They spent some quality time together until it was time for Sofia’s dinner and Nani Claire went home. Here is a video of Sofia getting excited about the jolly jumper<\/a>. So funny it was like Pablo when put over water… legs going like crazy :).<\/p>\n After dinner Mike came home and we played a bit with Sofia. She started cruising… She grabbed onto the ‘crate’ and went a few steps to the right – moving hands and feet… She fell backwards again (this time on the quilt Nani Claire had made – so it was a bit softer at least) and cried for a bit, BUT straight away she reached for the bars again… so she had another go before bedtime. I’m so proud of my little girl. That was the right attitude – straight back on the ‘horse’ :)).<\/p>\n When we put her to bed she would not stop crying and I had to go back in. She was pretty much asleep when I tried leaving the room, but I bumped the ‘gate’ and the noise woke her up and made her cry again. Aaaaaaaah!!! So I went back in … and I stayed there until she was fully asleep (she kept waking up and making sure I was still there). It took about 40minutes. I am very tired and exhausted…. now it’s time for bed. I hope Sofia has a good night sleep.<\/p>\n
