It would probably make more sense to put them in her room by her changing mat, but they get washed and end up just hanging around there. Sorry Nan.
#BHasANewishThingOfGettingThemAndJustPlayingWithThem
Nice.
#SheMainlyWavesThemAroundButSometimesSheTriesToEatThem
She gets quite excited waving them about. I’m yet to do the shoot, but that’s what I imagine I’ll copy. Maybe capture some movement in an arty way?
(26th July: Nope, just me pressing them to my face while B messed about around me. The camera was taking pictures every couple of seconds – easier to do when you’re trying to hold a sock in each hand and have a young child moving about.)
#SomeGoodNewsIsThatIPassedMyDrivingTheoryTestThisWeek
Hurrahhhh. No more revising!
#MyMumWatchedBWhileIWentIntoBirminghamCityCentre
Thanks Mum.
#TheTrainWasBusierThanLastTimeAndSeeingOtherKidsBeingPushedAroundInPushchairsMadeMeMissB
It felt weird to be out without B again. As I’ve said before I always say that I want some time off mothering, but then I miss B.
#INeedToFindTheCourageToTakeHerThereSometimeButIFeelABitWorried
I think the main thing is finding somewhere nice where we can get lunch – any suggestions dear one reader? And then timing things well for her nap. Soon she will be dropping a nap though so then maybe it will be a good time for trips?
If we were in Liverpool still I would be taking her to all of the museums and the city centre as we were so close to them.
#IHaveNotTakenHerThatFarAwayFromHomeByMyselfBeforeButIShouldTryToDoItSoon
Yeah, I’m nervous. Would be great to take her there though.
#InTwoWeeksTiagoWillHaveAWeekOffSoIAmLookingForwardToThat
His first week off since the start of October. Of course I’m excited!
#MaybeWeWillGoToBirminghamThenSoAtLeastItWillNotBeSoScaryAsTakingHerByMyself
Maybe we’ll go to the Sea Life Centre and get lunch?
#IWasSurprisedThatIPassedMyTestAsThereWereAFewThingsIKnewNothingAbout
I should have revised level crossings more obviously. I can’t remember the last time I saw one – I used to love them when I was a kid. There was one close to where we’d stay on holiday and we’d often just park near it and wait for trains. We sound so cool…
#NowIJustNeedToFindADrivingInstructorAndGetDrivingWhichIAmExcitedForButAlsoNervousAbout
*Nervous laugh*. It’ll be alright. I just want to get on with it, but I know there is a massive backlog for tests. I need to have a few lessons with a teacher then Tiago said he can take me out in his car. I’m nervous about that too.
#IQuicklyWentToAGalleryAfterwardsWhichWasMyFirstVisitToOneSinceMovingToBirmingham
I was not sure if I would have time to even get there as it was far from the test centre, but I managed it. I ate a pasty (classic) on the walk there.
#IHadToGetBackHomeToTakeBToHerBabyClassSoItWasASuperSpeedyVisit
If it wasn’t for Covid I could have left it, but I had to book a ticket and I had made a donation so I did not want to not go.
#TheNightBeforeMyTestBWasWakingUpEveryTwoHoursOrSoWhichSheNeverDoes
Of course it started as I put my head down to sleep.
#IThinkSheIsTeethingAndSheIsNotVeryWell
🙁
#TheOtherMorningSheFellAsleepOnMyNanLessThanAnHourAfterSheHadWokenUpWhichSheRarelyDoes
My Nan also fell asleep so they both looked cute.
#IAmFineAfterHavingAToothRemovedButNowTiagoHasAToothThatIsPlayingUp
Great. Typically he lost a filling on it (I think it’s that one) before the pandemic, and after months of me badgering him to get it looked at he did and they said it was fine as it was not causing him pain, then bam.
#HeManagedToGetToTheDentistYesterdayAndTheyGaveHimSomePenicillin
Bless him.
#IfWeManageToMakeItToPortugalThisSummerThenTiagosDentistCousinWillSortHimOut
I think he needs quite a few things done and the dentist yesterday said he should be able to make it until then.
#WeManagedToGetToBsClassOnTimeAndAfterwardsIThoughtSheWouldNotNapOnTheWayHome
She is such a wriggler at that class. Yesterday she was stealing everyone’s leaves.
#IHadPutHerHoodUpAndAfter5MinutesICheckedOnHerAndItWasAllTheWayDownToHerMouthAndSheWasAsleep
I was hoping to get home and then we could both nap, but she was obviously tired from waking up loads the night before.
#SheWasSleepingVeryHeavilyWhileIPushedHerAroundThenJustSatOnABench
Bless her. I will have to remember the hood trick in future.
#MyLegsWereLikeJellyAsIWasNotUsedToWalkingSoMuchInOneDay
I was knackered. Probably all the studying has been tiring my brain out too so no wonder I have been quite tired.
#LastNightIWasLyingDownOnTheFloorAndBCameOver #IThoughtWeWereGoingToHaveASweetMomentButSheStuckHerThumbUpMyNose
Lol.
#ItWasFunnyButItDidHurtAndMyNoseBledABit
It still hurts a little bit now… Tiago was on the phone to his friend so they were both just laughing.
#NextWeekIsHalfTermWhichMeansHerClassesAndGroupsWillNotBeRunning
Great…
#TheWeatherIsGettingBetterAtLeastSoHopefullyWeCanJustSitInTheParkMore
I want to find her a trike or something that I can push her around on.
#IAmYetToTryGoingToSoftPlayAgainButIShouldGiveTheOneWeHaveNotGoneToAChance
I am a bit worried about it being as disappointing as the other one. I just need to make some friends who want to go to soft play and try having lunch at one of them, but we shall have to see.
(26th July: We’re still yet to go to one… Sorry B.)
