Will wonders never cease!
So I've come to the conclusion that little and often is maybe better that all at once!
So, last weekend was the long awaited (basically since we went last year) MK panto which was Aladdin. MUCH awe and wonder from Madeline - clearly she didn't remember going last year, and Jessica struggled through it also, despite feeling quite grim when the Calpol highs left! Much participation from Liz until she ran out of energy and children in the second half.... then a weary trundle home to Leamington Spa to try and chill out.
Nothing much on Sunday or Monday (apart from a trip to the Doctors to check that Jess didn't need a prescription, and Daddy going back to work) but on Tuesday it was all go! Jessica went back to school, which was fine, and Madeline - our little baby - started playschool! She screamed! And kicked (apparently)! But loved it once she'd got over the shock of me leaving her, her mother however, felt a little bit unnerved by the midweek silence in her home. I'm sure I'll get used to it thought I as I turned the radio up!....
Wednesday? Jess at school, Madeline at playschool. She screamed! She didn't kick and apparently it was much shorter lived this time! I did some birthday shopping and then it was back to a rush to get me to work as usual!
Thursday, Daddy took Madeline to playschool, so naturally she didn't cry at all. (That could work in my favour I'm thinking!) Grandma confused her by picking her up but all was fine and dandy.
Friday was as it has been for a term (coffee and playing and shopping!) which led on to Saturday.
Madeline didn't even blink at being left again.... mainly due to the presence of the somewhat Godly Erin Morris (Maddy's bestest friend ever!). She duly informed me that she "loved dancing with Erin" and that was that.
Today we have been to see the fantastical (for little and bigger girls) Enchanted which was a dream despite the wriggly children!
Back to the grindstone tomorrow!
