I managed to hold on to give auntie Pam first cuddle and after that you went on the rounds your sister decided to brighter things up by being noisy. We came home with lots of parcels for you. After all the excitement of the morning which you slept through. We had a quiet afternoon with abi falling asleep in the car and sleeping till teatime. but yes you are an army baby as you managed to sleep through the meeting including the band.

Daddy goes back to work tommorow and i wonder how i will cope with you both onmy own particularly as still not felling 100percent.
