This week was much better than last week!! On Saturday, we took Carmie up to Huskisson to go whale watching. She was very impressed by the mother and cub humpback whales that we saw, as well as the seals, before she put her head down in my lap and fell asleep. She missed out on seeing the penguin and the hammerhead shark, but we didn't tell her :) All in all, she had a lovely morning out on the boat and then lunch with Mum and Dad. Little Arley stayed at the farm with his grand parents. When we took Carmie back to the farm, her cousins were there. They were going to bring a dog down for Carmie (her big surprise), but it fell through, for now at least. In the mean time, we are looking after my sister's dog, Abby, and it is really lovely to have a doggie friend for the kids. Anyway, on Sunday I took the kids back to the farm for some more cousin fun, and it was really nice, because Carmie really hit it off with her cousin Olive. They became fast friends.
Arley is walking around like there was never anything wrong with his leg, and he finally got over his cold this week. It hasn't put him in a better mood though! He is one grumpy little guy. He wakes up grumpy and screams because he doesn't want his nappy changed, then he screams because he doesn't want his clothes on, then he hits because I make him get his nappy changed and clothes on, and the day goes on in a similar fashion until bed time, when he screams because he doesn't want to go to bed, and then he throws his water bottle and dummies on the floor, and then he screams because they are on the floor and he can't reach them...you get the picture. Fun times. But at least he is walking!
Carmie had a major meltdown moment last night too, and I lost the plot. She is constantly doing this awful mewling fake cry, and pretending to be sick or injured, and there is nothing you can do to snap her out of it. It drives Jeff and I crazy. This morning I told her the story of the boy who cried wolf. She was a little better today, with only a sore ankle, two (very tiny) spots on her shin, an injured finger, and a sore arm. Enough already!!
Would anyone like to babysit?
