I’ve been trying to spend more time with Amy as I know Evan has a lot of my attention these days. We had a nice afternoon together, doing arty things whilst Dan and Evan had a nap upstairs.
After giving Evan his next feed, Amy and I went on a girls only trip to the supermarket. I used to get stressed about Amy picking up items that we didn’t need, but I’ve taken Dan’s lead in letting her pick a couple of things so I can control what gets put back.
Last time we went, Amy chose some chocolate chip cookies for us girls to have as our special treat so I picked the same cookies today to have in the car on the way home. I was driving along when I realised that she was making slurpy noises, which didn’t match the cookie munching sounds I was making. I turned around to find that she had passed on eating the double choc chip cookie in favour of a plum. I was really proud, and amused at how sometimes she really doesn’t take after her mother.
“whilst Dan and Evan had a nap upstairs”
We were doing no such thing, we were just resting our eyes is all.
What is it with guys and denying they’re sleeping?
My husband falls asleep sitting on the couch anytime he gets past a 90 degree angle, but he’ll completely deny that he’s been snoring for the last 20 minutes.
Fortunately, I now have two backups who will chime in, “Yes, you were sleeping, Daddy!”
My mum is notorious for falling asleep on the sofa. The best times are when she snored so loud, she woke herself up.
To be fair to Dan, I don’t think Evan let him get much sleep as he (Evan) has a bit of a cold and has turned into a grunting snuffle monster.
My dad always falls asleep on the sofa and then says he wasn’t asleep but ‘watching tv through his eyelids’.
Kerry’s mum can fall asleep in the middle of a sentence. It’s true, I’ve even witnessed it happen.
