End of the first week and Ella had a little surprise for me. What a lovely daughter…

So, end of first week. Not so bad. Today was very busy work-wise and I had a little surprise when First Girl came in to see me.

I quite quickly batted that one out of the park.. there’s plenty of time to deal with that..

Ella had a little surprise for us today.. she only woke once at 1.30 this morning and then slept through until 7.30..

Bargain.

I LIKE the child that has decided I deserved one night of sleep at the END of the week of work.. Don’t get me wrong - I’m not ungrateful … but when I was flagging somewhere around Wednesday, would have been good..

Not only this little gem though - Ella decided this evening would be the evening that she would roll over for the first time.

The first thing I was terrified I may miss - I saw all of Rowan’s firsts - and she saved it till I got home. Bless her.

I cried.

Rowan spent her second session at nursery today and got on really well except she apparently became a little over-exuberant with a plastic hammer and a child’s arm.

Josie may not be surprised to hear this

Anyway - I’m shattered. It’s been an interesting week back and obviously things haven’t been exactly easy. The good news is - I haven’t met anyone new at work yet that I don’t get on with and it looks like we’re gonna have a good year.

Famous last words ….
