It was too good to be true!
Is it possible to have baby brain three years on? I'm fairly forgetful these days: I often can't find the right word; usually forget what I went back upstairs for; never know where I've parked the car and always forget if I've told people something (apologies if you're on the receiving end of my repeat conversations!). But I NEVER forget G's appointments. Until now....
We were due at the gastro clinic this week to have a general check up with the consultant and dietician, and see how the dairy reintroduction was going. Long story short: a) I totally forgot b) we haven't even tried. Damn. Milk may not have been reintroduced, but soya has, with mixed results. We are desperately trying to switch G from medicated formula to soya milk, and whilst G herself is tolerating this painstakingly slow switch, her tummy isn't coping quite so well. Said appointment would have been quite handy.
In other news
G is officially a pre-schooler and loving it! Second week in and she's so excited that she's up at the crack of dawn questioning why the staff don't share her enthusiasm and open pre-school at 6:30am.
We are thrilled that she has settled in so effortlessly, but admittedly I was anxious about this next step, and so was G. In the week prior to her first session, our bedtime stories were interrupted by dozens of questions....Where will I wee? Will there be hand driers? I don't want there to be hand driers. What are the adults names? Who will I play with? Where will my drinks bottle go....you get the picture. Now the only question I hear is, 'is it time to go to pre-school yet mummy?'
No, 1am is not an acceptable arrival time.
Further news
My mind is actually blank this evening......G hasn't slept recently. I have not slept in forever. Maybe that's the root cause of my mumnesia? We have a new ENT referral and are awaiting our first appointment. G had her first Meningitis B jab. She achieved her bronze badge at gymnastics. She is now a dab hand at spotting all manner of car badges-Land Rover, Audi, BMW, Ford, Nissan - that and remembering peoples surnames and addresses. Maybe I could put my teaching to good use and actually harness that memory of hers? That is if my own memory holds out long enough.
Now someone pass me the wine...
PS. No appointments until June. Possibly.
