A Good Day
Today was a good day, especially compared to last night, which was really hard. Last night Dan was just miserable and we had no idea what was wrong. We thought he had a tummy ache, a sore throat or really sore gums. He was crying all the time and flat out refused to eat any dinner. It was quite worrying. In the end he drank an entire bottle of milk and passed out in my arms, so I guess he was just really, really tired! Such a relief.
Today we went to Richard’s parents’ for an Easter lunch. It was a really lovely day, and the boys were very well behaved (mostly). They didn’t cry at all about being held by people other than Richard and I. In fact, they were both quite happy to play with their grandparents, uncle and great aunt. They even went to sleep when they were supposed to, and actually slept for longer than expected. The only small difficulty we had was when Daniel woke up and became really upset. The only thing we could figure was that he got a fright waking up somewhere other than his bed. It took a while to settle him down, but afterwards he was okay again.
Tomorrow, we’re doing it all again at an Easter lunch with some friends. It’ll be interesting to see how the boys go on the second day, with people who are less familiar.
