Just keep on sucking and scream when it starts to hurt! SIMPLE.
Well that’s Georgia’s solution.
It doesn’t really matter that her left thumb is swollen and has the ugliest welt in the world. She will only suck her left thumb. She tried for two seconds to work on her right index finger….but i guess that didn’t taste quite as nice
Mornings are a really fun time with Georgia, she wakes at a *&^!” , well, shall we say an evil hour of about 5.30am and is usually raring to go the minute she’s fully awake, which is maybe 5.32am!
Mornings are also when she’s not grouchy waiting for food and not grouchy from being over tired from the lack of sleep (she doesn’t seem to nap properly at nursery, a good nap is maybe 1.5 hours long, ALL DAY!).
So, anyway, this morning she noticed our cups had a different coloured liquid to hers (water or milk) and fervently pointed to our cups saying
There! There! There! (this has been her favourite word since she started talking)
So I told her, “That’s tea. Can you say tea?” and VOILA!
She said,
“Tea”
although really it sounded more like T…
Can you tell the difference???
At first a little sobbing and then curling up and then wild trashing….
We had to turn on the light in the bedroom and then try to wake Georgia up and it took a while.
Are your teeth painful?
Is your tummy pain-pain?
How nice if they could talk and tell you if it was only a nightmare or worse a night terror!
Weekends are always a good time for ‘firsts’.
Perhaps it’s because G’s in nursery most of the week and our time with her is limited to the 5am – 8am manic morning rush or the 4.30 / 5.00 – 7.00 evening slowdown that we don’t really catch much of what she might have learnt to do in the day. Nursery reports are totally useless pointless in that respect but I digress…
New word – Sunday: cheese which came out sounding more like ‘cis’, brilliant attempt though as this was in relation to her ABC book which had a picture of a wedge of cheese.
Another first was having her hair in pony tails…pictures to follow soon.
Georgous is G’s nickname from her dad.
The story is, he refers to her frequently as Georgia-Gorgeous, and Georgous is a somewhat accidentally shortened version which seems to have stuck.
