Lessons learnt:
Don't attempt to go out to a breakfast with friends in the pouring Darwin rain when you have a 2-door car, trying to get a baby buckled in, while attempting to get your mini chihuahua out of the car because she's scared of the storm & wants to come with you...only for her to hide further under the foot pedals; then give up & get in only to have the umbrella unfold itself!
Kayla patting Midori in the middle of the storm while she
hides in the corner of the bathroom shaking :-(
You can see why I gave in & let her come with me to breakfast...
Next...low fuel when I'm already running late - yes this happened the other day but I refused to fill up at Woolies without a discount fuel voucher last time.
Awesome start to my Sunday but I must admit that it was made better by enjoying the lovely breaky with friends!!
Just one of the cutest kids I know...
MJ showing off his Baby-chino Choccy-mo @ breakfast :-)
MJ & Kayla playing a 'game' where Kayla drops things on the floor
& MJ picks it up! Much more fun watching this game than playing it :-)
Then the mistake of accepting an invite to go to a fun afternoon tea with all of the Army WAGs (& what felt like an Army of children) when your baby should be napping, only to come home to a more grizzly one! Kayla did have a great time with the kidlets though, which was fun to watch.

Note to all Darwin Crew:
I'm no longer available for catch ups between the hours of 10-11.30am & 3.30-4.30pm. Yes, I've become one of those parents whose life revolves around nap time...at least for the next 2 months while hubby's away & there's no one to share the grizzly baby night time moments with ;-)
Last lesson learnt...just deal with a grizzly baby through her dinner & bath time until as close to her usual bedtime as possible, instead of putting her to bed at 5pm only to now have to go wake her for dinner...hmmm...unless...surely one skipped meal can't hurt...can it? What to do....
I hope tomorrow is a better day.
Ahhhh.... I feel better already just from venting!
That is all!

P.S By the time I finished completing this post my baby girl awoke. Dinner was smooth sailing & now she is at my feet enjoying some playtime with my shoes while I finish up. Let's hope bath time & back-to-bed time are just as easy.
Goodnight all...
