We went to have lunch with Nick - our now regular Tuesday date so that he at least gets to see Emily once between Sunday afternoon and Saturday morning. She was very vocal in the restaurant, and I remembered how I used to be irritated by small children making a racket, so was a bit worried she would disturb the other diners. Following the meal I whisked her back home for her nap. I am determined that wherever possible she should get a good rest at home as she never naps well out and about.
On waking she was quite upset, which I assume was due to teething. So it took a while to calm her down and the opportunity to go shopping for some summer clothes and shoes for her as planned was lost, as we'd have so little time once we got to the store. As it had been raining a park was out, so we went to the jidokan in Shibaura to play. The weather meant that it was very busy there. Some of the kids were over three years old and once or twice they pushed Emily when she got too close and interfered with their play. She watched one girl play at putting the baby to bed and later went over and kissed the little doll, then picked it up and wandered around with it for ages. Then she decided that she wanted to wear one of the dressing up skirts they have there and looked very pleased with herself when I helped her put it on.
