Little Changes

Firstly I just want to say Happy New Year everyone! We had a great Christmas (and now our house is even fuller with toys than ever!). Thanks for all your wonderful presents and generosity. It seems like I am doing my posts back to front but I wanted to post about last night and so I will put up some Christmas photos soon!

Yesterday in an effort to start sorting out the house a bit I rearranged Emilys bedroom. Partly to fit in all the extra toys she now has and partly to make room for stuff from the box room - which we will be decorating and moving Em into this year.

Her cot used to be sticking out in the middle of the room and all I did was to move it so that it was against a wall. I also put a set of draws at the end near the door, which blocked her view of the door which she used to have.

Well last night was a nightmare, she hasn't had us up like that since she was tiny. Who would've thought such a small change would make such a difference. We went through a number of things to calm her down, including a nappy change and 2 stories. Everytime we tried to leave she grabbed onto our arms, saying things like 'don't go!' 'me come too!' 'me come in mommys bed a little while!' etc etc Very heart rendering stuff.

Eventually she started falling asleep standing up, with her arms resting on the cot bars. She finally agreed to let Warren lie her down and she went to sleep! Phew! This doesn't bode well for us moving her into another room!
