caffeine in the milk bottles

We changed Darcy’s cot last weekend.
We had used the pram cot
But she is above average height (or length)
So she now fills the pram cot…

Time for a cot with proper bars !!

She has found that she can run her hand up and down the bars, like a prisoner with a cup !

Ok it takes time to get used to the cot, I GET THAT !
But come on!!

4 days now and going to sleep at almost 1 am !! give us a break please!!
But it is hard when you lie in your bed next to the cot, shut your eyes ( cos she really thinks it is cool to copy daddy and go to sleep yeah !!!??? ) HAHAHAHAAHhahahahaaa NO !!
And you try and peek to see if she is asleep, and she has rolled onto her side holding onto the bars!! And smiles at you !!! AAARRRGGGHH
You must be putting caffeine in the milk bottles !!

It is great you want to talk, or even shout
It is great you want to play
It is great that you are so happy

But please go to sleep !! haha

On a lighter note,,, “Fattys gonna get yer” come on Ricky “Hitman” Hatton on Sunday !!

i am....

I am your dad
I will always try and do the best for you
Forgive me my mistakes, as I learn
This is as new for me, as it is for you

I am your dad
I will always love you
Unconditionally. I do not have all the answers
But I will search hard for you to find them

I am your dad
I will always support, encourage, and help you
Through the good times, and the bad times
I won’t leave your side

I am your dad….
I always will be………. Your dad.

i must learn....

I must learn not to comment too quickly
I must learn not to stick my nose in
I must learn to listen and respond accordingly…

BUT I CAN NOT HELP IT !!!!!!

Maybe I care too much, or maybe want to care too much.

Maximo Park say it best with the following

Nosebleed on the “our earthly pleasures” album..

“ some people hide their emotions
Some people show too much
I’m aiming for something central “

a week already

No MySpace for 5 days!!
5 days!!!!
We got our dial up bill at home, O.U.C.H!!
We have agreed to limit the time on line!

And Tuesday night OH MY GOD…
2 days before the car was due to be serviced and MOT’d… yep it breaks down!!
Call the RAC, who thankfully patched me up and got me home,
The heater pipe had sheared off, I had no water, or coolant, and cos my car is the basic model, it has no temperature gauge… NO TEMPERATURE GAUGE, a car with no gauge is is is like ere r er a bike!!!!
If I had had the gauge I would have pulled over!!
£550, inc service parts, 2 new tyres, new heater system blah blah blah blah, sparks, filters blah blah etc etc etc

To top that off I got home and had to go to bed with the mother of all migraines!!! And missed work on the Wednesday.

Thursday.
Cardiff Christmas shopping and to show Darcy the Winter Wonderland…. She loved it... the ice rink, mesmorised her, as did the massive ferris wheel.and Christmas tree
The GB rally teams were in Cardiff, which though I am not a fan, found interesting, much to Jayne’s dis interest. !!

2 days off from work, and I got to see Darcy in the mornings. As usually I am in work by the time she wakes. She is now in her mid size cot, and has learned that she can run her hand along the bars like a prisoner with a cup!!

She now shouts BA BA BA loudly, and sticks her tongue out as much as possible!! We still await the first tooth, but the smile and laugh are coming along just fine...

Darcy is fazed by nothing, and she amazes me with what she learns and does. I still can’t believe that such a tiny person (a person now) can take over your life.
She is getting a mischievous side, she sleeps in a grow bag, but still tries to roll on her side, she holds her hand through the bars, for you to hold it. She is in to everything. Her favourite pastime is to stare at the Italian “some like it hot” poster we have in the hall way, she stares at it for ages, tonight the Christmas tree goes up. I thing hours of staring to come!!
