my star - in stripes

We had a perfect day yesterday - just the baby bird and me. We went to the zoo and she was the most incredibly good company all day. No fights about denying poo in her pull-ups, no demanding to be carried (I don't mind that at all but with my belly getting so big it really puts a strain on my back holding her as well and we don't use a buggy) and just good natured chat all the way round....and a lot of running! It was a true joy being with her she is such a sunny little human being and so clever but with a brilliant sense of humour. I only wish she would sleep. She never does - not even at night and I'm absolutely not prepared to do the 'tough love' thing of leaving her to cry it out. If she wakes up and needs to know I'm there then I should be, but at the moment she is waking so much I am totally exhausted. Plus she doesn't do the normal thing of sleeping for a couple of hours during the day either - up to one hour max is her best and that's with getting up at 5am on the dot and not going to bed until 7.30. hmm. a livewire. Still, it is her only downside and my husband gets up with her most days at five so it's ok really. Actually it's lovely - they've started making bread every morning together so when I get downstairs at seven we have fresh pitta bread or baguette or rolls or whatever..
She picked her own outfit today. Feeling bright I guess......
