January yellows!

Many of us often feel a little blue come January...back to work, a lovely Christmas being a distant memory, no money and usually a few extra pounds heavier! 

Well this year, I don't have the January blues, I'd go as far to say I'm pretty happy. January yellows I've named it!

Why you may ask, is someone so happy in one of the most depressing months of the year. Let me tell you in a nutshell:

- I survived my first week at work and I have remembered how to control a class of 30 kids

- For at least 3 days a week I get to drink hot tea, eat warm food and go to the toilet in peace

- G enjoyed being at the childminders (except the token screaming when I drop her off and pick her up)

- G is learning lots of new skills: sitting up, pulling herself up, opening and closing doors, hunting out the hidden dog toys, zooming round in the walker

- Daddy is doing well with his new business

- My new parent support group starts soon 

- I will get paid a wage at the end of this month!!!

Ok so we still have our battles-G and windog being in cahoots to wake us up every night at least twice (windog is wearing tired of this game but G isn't!), and I still can't pinpoint which foods are aggrevating Her. But Heyho, you can't have it all. I mean sleep is over rated anyway!

What's next for us?

This month G has two appointments-one with the paediatrician where I will most certainly want to discuss her ears, and one with the feeding and speech therapist. 

Ooo and G has her first ever birthday party to attend, one of our antenatal buddies first birthday. 

Happy January!
