Hello all, am back in front of my own keyboard and screen (you have no idea how hard it is to type on those ergonomic keyboards that my parents have...). Just sat down to blog, but realised my tshirt smelt like vomit (but could not locate source), and hand smelt a bit like e-chan's last nappy change, so went for a quick handwash and change of top and all is relatively right again!
Well, yesterday was another day we'll classify as "all a bit too much" for E-chan, along with the journey to Adelaide, and Christmas Day. Yesterday started with E-chan not sleeping long in his morning nap (must have sensed something was up, with mum and dad busy packing nearby), packing our things in the car, heading off to the airport, going through security, seeing Nanna, Grandma and Grandad wave goodbye as we walked down this tunnel into a long tube with lots of seats and windows, being cramped in a small space, having a toddler behind us yell over the top of his seat, having his ears go funny, getting off the funny tube thing with seats and windows, hopping in a taxi with a funny car seat and arriving finally at a place that seemed strangely familiar, but we suspect that after 3 weeks away, he couldn't quite put it all in context. So much for the joys of returning home!
Yesterday afternoon, E-chan was very out of sorts - he was crying quite a lot, and seemed to be frequently looking around to see where everyone else had gotten to (sorry, it's just you and me now, kiddo). Must be hard for him to firstly to not have hordes of adoring grandparents lining up for cuddles, but to have only me around, as C-chan is off to work this week for the final time before going on holidays (woo hoo!) and starting a new job in late February.
But for now, touch wood, he is sleeping in his cot, after a wakeful night... I'm hoping he'll be his happy self again soon, and that he'll enjoy seeing all the other Mums and babies at Mother's group today. He has changed so much in the past few weeks - new skills, new noises, new teeth...
But I must go cook and puree those beans and carrots for his lunch!
