H only woke up ONCE last night and the difference in my energy level as a result is wonderful. He hardly napped yesterday, and then I went out for a haircut leaving 2 bottles of expressed milk behind which he guzzled. Why he slept so well I'm not sure, whether because of the volume of milk in the bottles or because he didn't nap, but I'm not complaining.
G took D skating for the first time while I was at the hairdresser, along with a bunch of others and they had a great time. D was absolutely full of it when I got back, he wants to go every week! Promised him we would take him again when we get back from the UK.
Speaking of which, I have to pack. I hate packing. I hate thinking of all the things I have to remember, forgetting some, remembering again, panicking the night before, etc. I've made a start by piling some stuff up, but it's hard to know exactly how much crap I need to take with me for 4 of us, for 2.5 wks. H needs more than most as he's the most likely to need several items of clothes each day.
D, meanwhile, is 'Star of the Week' at school. This means I have to prepare tons of crap for him to take in to school tomorrow to show the class, something I could really do without on top of packing. One of the things he's had to do is keep a journal all week of what he and 'Sammy Star' (a teddy bear belonging to the school) have been up to. He's been taking pictures of Sammy this week with his digital camera, and we will stick them in with each day's entry. Cute.
