A day in the life of me

Theo:

I had to be woken this morning at 7.45am. It had been a hard night having had to wake at 4.30am for a feed. We had to take Sophie to school for 8.20am as she was off on a school trip. I was hurried through my milk, given a quick nappy change, dressed and then I was ready. I had a little vomit and then we were on our way.

Once we'd waved Sophie off (and I'd been sick all down Äiti's shoulder), I had a quick smile and laugh with K (age 3yrs) and then we then came home. I had wanted to smile at M (3 months) but she was sleeping, we never seem to be able to co-ordinate our sleeping times.

At home, we checked Äiti's Facebook and Forum. It was then time to play. I rode on my rocker for a bit which was fun until I decided to ride it without using any hands! I then had a bit of tummy time which I hate. I decided to do nothing except lie face down chewing the blanket and puke a little more. Eventually Äiti flipped me over and we played 'peek a boo'. We then read some books together. I get very excited when I see books so waggled my arms lots. We read about 7 books until I decided I was hungry and needed my mid-morning milk.



After my milk (and a bit more puking) I sat on the floor and played my piano. I also practised my singing. I have this down to a fine art now- I can screech like the best of them! I then wanted to walk round the house so we did a tour of downstairs. It wasn't overly interesting so Äiti let me look out the window. Someone put something called glass in the window so I kept banging my head. Daddy came home whilst I was looking out the window. I gave him a big smile as he approached the door. I then decided to try my cruising. I can take two steps along the sofa now. I did this for a while and then tried my standing. Here I am standing. Yes, my friends, I am wearing tights- never ever speak of this again! Naturally I was sick...hence why I'm wearing tights- Äiti gets fed up of my nice clothes getting covered in sick.



I then tried to have a poo but all I could muster was a few smelly farts. I then yawned so Äiti saw this as her cue to put me to sleep. She wrapped me up like a big yellow fajita and put me in my bouncy chair...then left me! She is trying to get me to fall asleep without being rocked. I thought I'd lull her into a false sense of security and fell asleep within 2 seconds!

2 hours later I woke up! Apparently Äiti had done things around the house, but I couldn't see any difference. Her Zoo on Facebook looked a bit better though! It was now 1pm and I was hungry again- I like to eat every 3 hours. I had my milk which I followed with a super loud burp and some more sick. Then Äiti decided she wanted to eat her lunch with 2 hands so she switched on the TV for me and parked me in my bouncy chair. After watching Äiti eat 2 mouthfuls I decided that the poo I'd been brewing all morning should be released, thus ending Äiti's peaceful lunch! Obviously I could not just sit in it, so I protested loudly until my nappy was changed. Just for good measure I decided to have a wee whilst my nappy was off. Äiti eventually ate her lunch with me on her knee!

We then played some more with my toys, read a few more books and did some more tummy time. I refused to do anything on my tummy so decided to chew my fist instead. Äiti then took me upstairs as she needed to sort the washing. She put me on the bed as she did her job. When she wasn't looking, and just to scare her, I rolled on to my front so she found me face down waggling my arms and legs. Äiti was not pleased.

After some more play, I decided I wanted a nap. Again, Äiti wrapped me up like a fajita and left me. This time I knew what she was up to so remained awake until 5 minutes before she had to leave to pick Sophie up...that'll teach her to want me to sleep. Äiti left me with daddy and picked up Sophie. I was awake when they got home 20minutes later! It was a short nap.

Sophie told me about her day and how her school trip had made her scared. I smiled at her because I know she likes me smiling. I think I made her feel better. The afternoon passed with some toys, some books and some lying around. I had a good scream at 4.45pm and then fell asleep for a 20 minute powernap.

It was then time for Äiti to make tea. She put me in my Bumbo whilst she tried to do things in the kitchen. I kept escaping out the Bumbo; all I wanted was to be held. Daddy came down and did as I asked- he cuddled me and made me laugh.

It was then dinner time. I sat in my highchair looking hungrily at everyone. No one passed me any food so I shouted loudly until someone picked me up, they don't realise I'm bored with just milk. After dinner, Sophie wrote her birthday invitations whilst I watched. At 6.50pm I started to cry so I was taken upstairs, changed, fed and placed in my cot. I did try to protest but I just fell asleep.
