Well after making such a fuss about bakpak -says eva- and lunchbox, hat and wearing a wool kilt during summer- becasue its a school skirt- Eva has given away preschool. I am never sure how to discuss this with fellow mothers as I explain she kicked up such a fuss, and wanted to stay at home with Pip and I, so why not? I fade away the end of conversation as I realise their 3 year old probably kicks and screams every time they go, but they have a job to go to.... mmm don't you love how having children then teaches you how to be a grown-up, not the other way around.
So now we have our Mondays back together, and they are both so tired from being dragged to various dinners and parties that its nice to just chill at home and watch ...of course...maria! sound of music.
Have done my ankle again, and Eva thinks I walk like a penguin. It makes me think how crazy things must get if mummy breaks her arm/ leg snowboarding. I remember now why i didnt attempt the pro-jump at Nordpark last time we were there with Eva. Eva now wants to go to Salzburg and visit Maria, so hopefully can take her there soon.
Can I just say, the difference between my girls is never so apparent as when they are tired. Eva becomes very- even more- precious and surprisingly uncoordinated. The combination usually ends in tears and at least now she doesnt hold her breath and pass out, even though it appears she is trying at times. A tease from her Daddy- 'you can't swim without your floaties' is often enough to set her off. Little Pip, at least at this stage is a little different. At the end of a long day she enjoys spinning on the spot, running in circles, then cracking up. As she is getting dressed in jammies i will tickle her to hear that belly giggle, and she will also jab herself in the big belly and crack herself up. And as I take her towards her cot she will almost arch herself out of your arms as she then curls up and puts fingers in mouth, even though I want to cuddle before i put her down. The loving Eva on the other hand will fall asleep most definately when lying next to you in your bed, but if in her bed will last an hour or 2 and then come into your bed to fall asleep under your arm. I am so blessed.
