Busy Day

Like I said yesterday, today was going to be a busy day.

The first thing I wanted to do was go through the baby clothes I have from when Alice was a baby. I haven't properly looked through them before and it gave me some comfort knowing that I still had a lot of her newborn and 0-3month clothing.


That wasn't all of them, this was just from one box I was sorting out. Alice took a great interest in them as I explained these would be for her baby sister but they were hers when she was younger. She looked at the piles and lay across them saying "I love baby clothes" repeatedly.


And as you can see she got quite comfortable on them!

Once Alice had gone down for a nap I decided I needed to work my magic on the Dining room! I had boxes all over and a Moses basket in there and everything was piled on top of the dining room table. I wore myself out tiding it all and that's when I had to sit down. I must say I didn't do too badly before that point and I haven't got much left to do!


I just need to move the trike, clear the table a bit more and extend it and I am done!

Once Alice woke up from her nap I called  her Nanna to let her know she could come over with her partner, Richard to come and say hello before Christmas. Whilst we waited for them to come over Alice spotted that I found her Megasketcher under a pile of things on the table. She just had to give it some use. She told me that she was drawing a dinosaur. So this is a dinosaur according to my daughter.


Not long after she had had enough of drawing Nanna and Richard turned up. Alice wasn't very keen on seeing Richard, she has met him before but it has been a while since she last saw him. So she did end up standing the opposite side of the room to him and hiding her face. She did eventually get out of her corner and settle once I put Tangled on for her. She then quite happily sat next to her Nanna to watch it :)


They didn't stay for too long and Alice was quite happy that she got to spend some more time with her Nanna.

Tomorrow I shall be baking lots of cakes, I'm sure Alice will love to help me out :)

A Visit From Nanna

This morning we were trying to pass the time whilst we waited for Nanna, Craig's Mum, to turn up. So we played a bit of hide and seek. As you can see my daughter is a brilliant hider ;)


And she did a bit of rolling around, I apologise that these pictures are blurry as you may realise 2 year olds aren't very good at keeping still!



She got a bit tired after all of it, I was exhausted watching!! Her hair was bothering her as well so we tied it up. Basically she just looked too cute not to take a picture!!


When Nanna came over, she didn't come empty handed. Alice got a cute little bag, which had a couple of pieces of chocolate and a couple of hair ties in, as well as some very Christmassy clips, Alice likes to call them clippers. I did try and take a picture of her wearing the hair clips, but yet again she wouldn't stay still.


She insisted her Nanna put the hair ties on her wrist.


And her visit would not be complete without reading some stories out of her Disney Princess magazine.


We'd never seen Nanna with her glasses on and Alice could not resist trying them on!


Alice very much enjoyed her visit from Nanna and it was nice to see her after everything that has happened this week. She completely understands and she still wants to see her granddaughter, soon to be granddaughters, and there is no way I am going to stop her.

This week on CBeebies they have been showing Christmas episodes of different programs they show at 4:30 every afternoon. We have mostly been looking forward to today's one as it was a new Peter Rabbit one. As you can see, Alice was quite glued to the TV when it came on. She loves rabbits! The bit I managed to capture has Jemima Puddleduck but Peter made an appearance shortly after :)


Looking forward to tomorrow, where I know I'll be surviving yet another Apocalyptic day. I don't really believe in all of that nonsense. It's already Friday in Australia and so far I think it's just another day there! Enjoy yourselves tomorrow, I know I will :)
