I felt very weary after staying up the previous night to see England's last World Cup game in the group stages. They looked confident and skillful in the first 20 minutes, and Defoe finally got one in, but the remaining hour was nail-biting as Slovenia got more possession and made a few attempts on goal. Rooney was hopeless and his head just wasn't right. He was subbed off later on. The final whistle finally blew and we lived to fight another day. Amazingly, the US scored a goal in the last minute of extra time that saw them make it too.
We had a quiet morning over at Hon Shiba with Jo, Isy and Cooper. The girls had a bit of a splash then played in the sand. Isy has apparently decided that she doesn't want to wear nappies any more. Fun times ahead for Jo! I am so nervous about training Emily when we get back from the trip, but I can't see her ever deciding not to wear nappies like that. She relies on them too much now.
We stayed in during the afternoon. I inflated the pool on the balcony and Emily played in there for about ten minutes but then said she was cold, even though I had added hot water to make it a bit warmer.
It is hard to occupy her for a whole afternoon on our own. After we had read lots of books and tried a few puzzles, we made banana muffins together.
I have decided to limit to Emily to two Peppa Pig episodes before bathtime, since she gets upset when I turn off regardless of how many I let her watch.
As we were about to turn in at 11.30, Emily woke with a nightmare, saying 'there's a spider in my bed trying to eat me'. We got her calmed down but there was no way she was going to go back to sleep in her room again, so we had to have her in with us all night. That is the second night in a row she has dreamed about spiders, and I also think now that the screaming episode last week was a nightmare, so we could have saved ourselves a dash to the hospital.
