It didn’t get much better……

As Helen has said, we have had much wailing from BB yesterday, it’s been very emotionally draining – as well as us being very tired from lack of sleep. We were at the stage of doing anything really just so she would stop. It wasn’t normal grumbling/crying? – but it was persistent screaming over things – it’s so unlike her. she did go upstairs, and go back to sleep. but then she would wake up after 5 minutes and start back screaming about things ‘milk’, ‘read book’ (in the dark!) ‘cuddle’ ‘cuddle sofa’, ‘ watch’ tele, ‘breakie’ !. Exhausting.? And we had already had a load of crying and screaming earlier when I tried to put her to bed at? amore normal time- and she must have been so tired. We had a about a 2 hour chunk of the evening from about 9.30 to 11.30 when she was asleep on the sofa

In the end?I decamped downstairs with her, as that seemed to?be what she wanted. We spent sometime on the (to small for stretching out) sofa in the playroom -’ reading’ a book in the dark. Then we decamped to the sitting room to watch TV (though the was? a mega screaming fit when I went back upstairs to get duvet and my glasses :roll:)

Snuggled down, she was quiet and happy, she did fall asleep at some point and I dozed on and off. Managed to extricate myself when I woke at about 2.30 am. She didn’t wake up quite amazingly, so daren’t not move her – I could not face more screaming. didn’t want to leave her alone down there, so slept on the floor on cushions from the sofa – to to bad actually – but don’t think I slept well. But BB slept through to 6.30. which?is the best nights sleep she has had since probably Friday (last few nights she has been waking at about 3 – 4 and not really going? back to sleep properly

So far today she has been better though really (so that will do it…..). Played with SB’s leap pad, watch Cbeebies, done some painting, spent as much time washing up afterwards, now playing with the Brio trains.

And because we didn’t go out we didn’t buy the new camera
