I got her and then Sofia dragged me into our bedroom. She wanted to cuddle and watch something &#8211; how could I refuse. Mike was happy to get a bit of cuddle time in as well. Pablo was happy to be allowed on the bed as well.<br \/>\nThen we got up and Mike made us brekky. After we had eaten Mike left to help a friend out for a few hours. Sofia got very active after having had a very slow start to the day. I wanted to take her quickly to a playground but she wasn&#8217;t keen to go so we stayed at home. We played, read books and then had an early lunch at about 10am. Sofia ate a lot. Good to see she has such good appetite.<br \/>\nSofia slept for a little less than an hour. She woke up crying&#8230; Now she tried to climb out as well. I&#8217;m glad we&#8217;ve ordered a bed. Hopefully it will get here soon. We cuddled for a bit. When I tried to put her back in, but she clung to me like a koala and started crying so horribly I couldn&#8217;t put her down. So I tried to let her fall asleep on me, but she seemed to just waking herself up so I put her back into bed. I explained she needed more sleep (as she was yawning away and rubbing her eyes) and she didn&#8217;t protest&#8230; Sofia tried to put herself to bed, but gave up after 15min so I got her back up.<br \/>\nSofia and I played and read books until Nani Claire come for a visit. Then we played with Sofia until Mike got home. He had brought flowers and Bailys for his mum and flower and chocolate for Sofia&#8217;s mum (me :)) seeing it was Mother&#8217;s Day :). Mike made a very nice late lunch and then we all went for a long walk with Pablo. Sofia pretty much ran much of the way &#8211; or got carried to her annoyance. When we got to the beach Mike took Pablo for a run on the beach. Nani Claire and I took Sofia to the playground. She loved it! She was running around, up and down the slides etc. After awhile to took Pablo for a quick run on the beach. The first thing that happened was that we ran into another dog that was just as keen to play &#8211; so they ran like crazy and played for 10min or so before we headed back. Sofia was still going strong. I gave her a 20 count warning. She keeps saying 1 more, 1 more (with one finger in the air) &#8211; sooooo cute! We headed home. Sofia wasn&#8217;t impressed but she got over it.<br \/>\nAt home Sofia had a snack pack of baby food before Nani made banana split for us. Sofia loved it! She reached a point however where Nani tried to feed her with the spoon and she said: NO he he. She&#8217;d clearly had enough. We got her in the bath tub and then to bed. She was asleep before 6.30pm.<br \/>\nSofia woke up crying once before we went to bed and then 3 more times during the night&#8230; Mike went in once and is my hero for that. It was such a sweet thing to do &#8211; I was soooo tired and exhausted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sofia woke me up with a cry at 6.15am.
