Day 6

I WILL finish these posts at some point , we are currently in the middle of yet another bad sleep patch and im pretty useless with keeping up while this tired. Eventually talked to a health visitor about Ru’s sleep issues and she is getting to me keep a sleep diary and try to help , just going to let him get his top teeth through first. I don’t think im being unreasonable, i know he is only 10 months old and im not one of these people who think just because of age/weight etc.. that they don’t need a night feed BUT i don’t feel he needs just so many. I would say on average he gets up every 2 hours for a feed , considering these days a night feed and getting him back down can take an hour …well its leaving very little sleep time for me.

We did have a nice day today though, just hung around the house playing with EA Personal Trainer game , the girls love joining in. My 6 year old niece impressed me doing the very long run (4 minutes peeps) , going at top speed and barely breaking a sweat. When the kids were happy i sneaked in a couple of chapters of my current read .

So onto…

Wednesday 15th July

You know when you first notice your child is burning up and you feel that sense of Oh!! No!! here we go again , imagine being on holiday and increase it by about 100. Eils was feeling off the night before but we put it down to being tired , Wednesday morning you could not deny that her temperature was through the roof. She was tired and quiet (which is a word i never use to describe Eilidh) , and just not herself.
We had all been looking forward to Wednesday since we got there , in the evening we got to go and see Nick Jnr. live with Dora, Diego and Ming Ming to . The girls were excited heck i was excited and we did not want to miss it.
It was another easy day , i went out for a while with Rebecca and Ru . Went to a Barney sing a long and then to a Puppet Show . Ru feel asleep (in the pram which was a first) and Rebecca and i spent some time in the amusements .Changed a pound in to 2p so she could play the 2p slot machine and didn’t she just love it , each time is was whoa more money … she never won anything but who really cares. Craig spent sometime playing with Eilidh and they went to pick up some food.
Lunch , lazy afternoon and dinner followed. Eilidh seemed alright aslong as she had some medication in her system , she was eating and chatting away by mid afternoon

We left to go to Dora nice and early , door opened at 6.30 (start 7.30) but wanted to be in the queue for at least 6 . We arrived and i waited while Craig played with the girls. Once in and seated it became a bit of a nightmare, Ru was sleeping in the sling so i could not do much while the girls got bored and demanding …poor Craig was up and down for the hour.

The shows itself was pretty good, the girls LOVED it . Spent most of it on daddy’s knee

Ru woke up just as it was starting and i had to spend about an hour and a half trying to keep him entertained on my knee…never again .

Afterwards we went to the park again , the girls got to spend a good few hours there and we got seats near a grassy patch so Ru could play.

They did not want to leave the park and now i wish we let them have that last 10 minutes , we promised them they could come back the next day but it was heavy rain our last day there.

The show itself was pretty good,
