Anyone who has been following this blog closely will notice that I have slipped up and not posted yesterday. I think the title of my last entry is a giveaway as to the cause, "The Littlest Guest".
I arrived home at about 4.30pm on Friday with Baby O and I must say that in the 44hours (was I counting?) that she was here our world was turned upside down. Even though I have brought up 2 children of my own nothing prepared my for the challenges of having a demanding 13 month old person here without her parents. From the first sleep-deprived night it was all I could do to bathe, feed, entertain, settle and generally care for Baby O as well as do some semblance of housework quite apart from any blog entries.
Her parents arrived today to rapturous applause from Baby O and they stayed for lunch. Then we collected up ALL of the clothes, toys etc for their trip home.
Since today is Sunday it is another No Spend Day as will tomorrow because it is a public holiday.
I am not sure what we will be doing tomorrow - just a quiet day at home, I think.
I do wish it would rain - it is just so hot and humid here these past few days. I have just looked at the weather radar and there does seem to be some rain coming our way.
Now I am off to help G make dinner - mini pizzas on Turkish bread, mmmm!!

Fairy your time with the little one sounds precious as well as exhausting. We are yet to be blessed with grand babies but surely we haven't forgotten how busy our days were?
Possum.
