Finally home...

I'm stuffed!   I have had about 4 1/2 hours sleep, but I am home... in NZ, ready to spend Christmas with my family! 
The plane trip was great... a little chaotic, locating bottles,  or toys to keep the Miss H(2.75) amused, changing babies clothes, battling our way to the toilet etc.,  But finally we got there... picked up our car and drove all the way to mum's, arriving at 4.15am before hitting the pillow for 4 1/2 hrs.

It is lovely seeing everyone, but especially my nephew Master J(4mths) and my niece Miss C(3).

Can't wait to hit the pillow with a vengence tonight!

To believe or not to believe... that is the question!

Our bedtime routine... Pj's,  teeth, toilet, an episode of Peppa Pig or Fireman Sam, Mum or Dad read a book, Our big monkey reads a book by herself, she then blows the light out, it is then that she is supposed to snuggle under her blankets, close her eyes and go to sleep!  


This is what is supposed to happen... it doesn't always quite work out like that!  


Last night, after a few questions like 'What are you having for dinner?', 'Are you talking to me?', 'I'm thirsty again!', then half an hour of silence, Miss H (2.75) announces she needs to push one out, convinces us into believing her (how can you not!) sits on the toilet for 5 minutes and then says, 'Nuh, nothing there'... The art of procrastination and manipulation!  They all seem to have it so sorted!
