Yesterday we returned from a long weekend at the outlaws.
I know there are the stereotype relationships with mother-in-laws etc - but it was actually an excellent weekend - thanks largely to the fact that I am no longer feeding Mini in the night - so not feeling totally exhausted. Am so much better at in-law diplomacy when not exhausted.
Anyway - we had a really fun time and they enjoyed spending so much time with Mini. The Husband and I loved it as we were able to head out for dinner on the Sunday, our second solo since Mini's arrival.
The biggest treat of all though was a shopping trip and lunch on Monday morning before heading back to London. I restrained myself quite well on the credit card front, namely because I still have some weight to loose and positively REFUSE to buy anything in a larger size. In all it felt like a complete holiday, especially as the weather was generally good.
Mini was fully entertained, we bought her a new bouncer toy, she was sung to, cooed over and generally made a fuss of every waking moment.
And now reality! With just mum for entertainment she has become a grizzle monster. Whereas pre-friday I could leave her on the playmat happily chatting to her friends the elephant and the snake, now I have to have her in the baby bjorn whilst hanging out the washing!
I am hoping the tantrums will pass, if not - visits to the outlaws will be strictly limited in future!
