dd is still sick. she has an endless cold and cough. nights have not been too good recently - extra wakings, lots of kicking. last night she managed to ditch her socks and savage me with her razor-sharp toenails.

fire i try not to do nighttime nappy changes, unless i hear her doing a poo. they're too disruptive. sometimes if she seems very awake anyway i'll take the opportunity to change her nappy, but otherwise she just has to wait til morning. i guess i'm a member of the bad mums' club too!

meg we start the day around 7.30 or 8. i often think dd would sleep longer if i stayed in bed, but my getting up usually wakes her. no real routines around here - if dd's awake when ds has his bath she has one too (around 7.30pm). time of starting her long stretch of sleep (usually lasts 5 hours) is completely unpredictable - can be around 8.30pm, but often she will cry and doze for hours before we finally manage to get her to sleep at 10.30 or 11pm. Those nights are awful!

since dd's still playing happily on the floor i'm going to try have breakfast now. have a good day everyone!
