More surprises weatherwise, as it shot back up to about 22C. However, it is set to get wintry again by the end of the week. I wish it would settle down so I can put away the winter clothes once and for all.
Yet again Emily was upset when I dropped her off at nursery, even though we talked it over calmly before we left home. All her favourite staff have gone and that is surely the reason for it, but I feel guilty every time I take her now.
For some years I have been 'over' Ikea, but in my first trip in two years I fell in love with it all over again. I bought as much stuff as I could carry and will go back again for more. My main purpose was to buy Emily a duvet, pillow and bedding. I have decided that this coming weekend it is high time she made the transition from cot to bed and from sleeping bag to duvet. As that will then make it hard to get her stay in bed and sleep if she isn't tired enough, I also intend to drop the nap at the same time, so that hopefully come 7.30 at night she is more than ready to snuggle up and go straight off. That's the theory anyway. It has been obvious for some time that she doesn't want to nap (well, not until at least 4pm, at which stage there is no point).
For a week or more Emily has been saying 'I want a little brother'. As well as some of her friends and Fern now having baby brothers, I think the main driver for this is Peppa Pig and her brother George. All I can say is that Mummy and Daddy will try our best but we can't just go to a shop and buy one!
