Early to Rise

Ladies Walking "Daddy! Daddy" the call went up at 7.30 this morning, which was a bit of a shock. We took advantage though and, instead of sloping in front of the TV for an extra hour and a half, we got ourselves showered and fed and out of the house to Caterpillar Kids where the kids looked a little older... we hadn't been there since before Christmas when Eloise's sleeping patterns extended.

Eloise obviously remembered it and leapt in with great enthusiasm, clapping bubbles, lawnmowing balls with hoops, tossing toys onto the parachutes and all that stuff. She had the cheek to demand two stamps on her tummy.

On the way home we shopped at a baby place and bought a baby toilet seat adapter thing and a step, then went to the Big W and got ten pairs of pants. Toilet training to begin soon.

Nicole had a lie down as she's on nights so I purloined her bike and cruised down the brook just after Eloise went to bed and was down there for an hour with the dogs experimenting with depth of field. What fun.

When I got back Eloise was up and about again, to my slight consternation, so we had lunch (it's a pasta day), then out for a walk to the park to play on the swings and wind up other toddlers ("My stuff! My stuff") and back so Nicole could get showered and off to her Clinical Masochism aka Pilates then work. Why oh why. Oh why.

Eloise in bed by seven. Could this be the end of charmed mornings.
