So....my daughter wakes up at 7:30am....has breakfast and whilst getting us both ready for toddler group she rubs her eyes and i think she'll sleep in the buggy on the 30 minute walk there, as i leave the house i realise the group starts 15 minutes before i thought it did so i have to run there. I park the buggy, get Poppy and run in....just as the lady is putting up the "sorry we are closing due to full capacity" sign so i then have to stand at the door sweating like a pig begging them to let me in saying i've run here, they must take pity on me and let me in.
I sit down, have a nice coffee and a chat and Poppy comes running over for a cuddle and rubbing her eyes, followed by crawling under a table to try and sleep and banging her head on the under side of the table as she gets up! Time to leave! We leave early and knowing that her nanny's dogs will wake her up when we get there 10 mins walk away, i decide to walk to the local supermarket which is 15 mins away...then 25 mins back to nanny's, surely she'll nap on the trip. NO, instead she decides to lean out her buggy, side,front, tries to take her shoes off...then pretends to fall asleep hanging forward, when i try to move her back she just laughs at me! i forgot to mention the cold windy weather which has left my legs feeling like i've spent the day down the gym!
We get to nanny's which seems like hours later....still no sleep! lunch given...cuddles given...still no sleep.
Time for me to go to the dentist and i pray that she sleeps for her nanny.
I get home earlier than i thought, walk in and its quiet. "Yes" i think, she's asleep! But no, i walk into the lounge to find her happily playing with building blocks! and get greeted with a HUGE cuddle!
Hours pass, daddy finishes work and it's only as she gets into her buggy to walk home at 5:30pm her eyes close almost immediately. I think she slept for about an hour.
LONG day!
