She had a snack and then breakfast. She had her morning nap at 9.30 and slept for an hour.<\/p>\n<p>When Sofia woke up I got us ready and drove to Caloundra. I parked the car and we walked the main street and sat down at a cafe for lunch. Then we went to the library. On the way there she flashed a big smile at a couple of ladies walking behind us &#8211; all of a sudden I heard: &#8216;that baby just smiled at me!&#8217; &#8211; and then they were both gushing all over her ha ha. The library had a few things going for kids &#8211; some toys and crayons were laid out. Sofia seemed to enjoy herself. She is always trying to get other peoples attention &#8211; so cute. I also managed to grab a few books to rent. All of a sudden I looked at the time and it was getting close to her nap, so I grabbed her by the hands to go and she didn&#8217;t want to. When I put her in the pram she whinged loudly and arched her back to slide out&#8230; I ended up putting her back down, checking out the books and then telling her: &#8216;Sofia &#8211; ferdig om 20&#8217;. Meaning finished in 20&#8230; Then I count down from 20. I do that every day at bath time, and it seemed to work now as well. When we got home I put her straight to bed. She took her time finding sleep, but she didn&#8217;t cry until the end&#8230; and then I went in. She had filled her nappy poor thing, so I changed it (again!) and put her back into bed. At that stage she was clearly way too tired and she started crying. I went in a couple of times but it just got worse so I picked her up. She was soooo distressed it took several minutes to calm her down. I put her on the boob and she fell asleep that way &#8211; then I put her back into bed.<\/p>\n<p>When she woke up at 4pm she&#8217;d slept for an hour. She had a snack and then a play whilst taking to &#8216;Mormor&#8217; Jette. She lights up every time &#8211; so nice to chat :). Then it was time for dinner. I tried to bring in a few toys so she could keep herself busy in the kitchen whilst I prepared dinner. No hope! It took me 20minutes to cut 3 carrots! I needed to keep an eye on Pablo, because every 2minutes I have to &#8216;bark&#8217; at him when she&#8217;s licking Sofia or her toys and then praise him when he&#8217;s being good. Sofia kept pulling herself up on my legs to be picked up &#8211; so I gave up&#8230; and she had pre-made stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Just as dinner was ready and I was running around the house with Sofia Mike came home. Then Mike took over so I could get dinner on the table. Mike fed Sofia and I got things ready for the nighttime routine. Sofia was fine until we were walking out the room &#8211; then she started crying. I went in a few time (also gave her pain relief) but it didn&#8217;t seem to help, so I picked her up for a long mega cuddle. Then I put her back down and stood there until she fell asleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sofia woke up at 6.30, so I got up and played with her.
