It's been a funny week - I came down with a cold on Tuesdayand had a bright red nose and sniffles for my Very Important Meeting on Wednesday. I stayed home on Thursday (missing the team lunch I had organised, at a very nice Indian place near the Uni) and because Si was going into Hamilton anyway, he took Ember into Teenies. So I had a whole day by myself for the first time in a very long time. 2 years probably! Although I did enjoy it, and needed it for recuperation purposes, I did feel very strange by the afternoon, and was missing my wee one terribly by mid-afternoon. Luckily they got home earlyish so I still got my Ember-fix of hugs etc.
We have a very loving, friendly little girl, she loves to give hugs and kisses, and say hello to random people on the street (she nearly always gets a smile and a hello back). Her talking is coming on in leaps and bounds, and as well as her colours she now knows the basic shapes and can count to 10 (apart from 1 and 7!!). She still really loves music and dancing, I'm going to have to try to find a dance class for her somewhere. In the meantime Simon does a very good job - apparently 4pm until I get home is dance time on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. And yes, he dances too. I don't currenlty have any video footage, but I'm working on it!!
Em's 2nd birthday is coming up soon and we are planning a little party for her on the weekend before. I'm inviting three of her friends from creche, Si is inviting a couple from Mainly Music, and then there are the almost-family guests - Angela and Amelie, Amber and co - and the actual-family - Dragten/Wilkinsons, the Harts and of course Nana Yellow Car. I'm not sure if Poppa John will join us, as a house full of toddlers is probably not his idea of a good time, but we'll see!
I've started a new paper this semester and it's looking like quite a lot of work, especially for a 200 level paper! It's a Management Communication paper, 'Business Communication' and the assessment includes a big, group research project which we've just been assigned groups for. It should be interesting, but a fairly big time committment. I think I'll be spending a few lunchtimes at the library!
It's a beautiful sunny Saturday today, not like winter at all, and I'd love to go for a walk on the beach, but Ember currently refuses to walk on sand at all. I don't know if it's the feel of it under her feet or the waves coming in, but she just will not! She either climbs up me like a little spider monkey or throws herself down and refuses to move unless carried. Great when we live in a seaside town!! Oh well, we'll keep working on it.
Anyway, I'd better go and do some study while blossom is asleep.
