Nick got to see Emily for once as she woke at 5.50. Nice for him, not quite so good for me!
We went to another TMG meeting at a nice jidokan in Hamamatsucho that we haven't been to before. It was not a good turnout, unfortunately. A shame, as it was a toy/clothes swap. I got rid of quite a few of Emily's old things and picked up some 'pre-loved' (an expression much used among the mums that makes me want to be sick) clothes. She has finally started clapping, after I had given up encouraging her to do weeks ago. Now she will do it with little prompting. Lately she has been saying 'de Gaulle' or something close to it.
I feel quite besotted with her right now, though there are still some difficult times. When she smiles at me it feels really special, like we are sharing a private joke. It makes me realise how rarely I make eye contact with anyone, even Nick.
