wollongong weekend

we drove to wollongong during percy's afternoon sleep. unfortunately she only slept a half hour. it really isn't enough to keep her happy. so her dinner and bath was brought forward a little, meaning she was in the travel cot by 6:30pm. she settled well, falling asleep quickly.

paul and i had previously decided that only crap movies were showing in wollongong, opting instead to book dinner at a restaurant near paul's parents home. i suppose it was nice to go out. it made little difference to us to be truthful. paul had an upset stomach (probably from eating macdonalds for lunch on the drive down) ending up eating only half a main. me on the other hand, wolfed into an entree, main and dessert. he he he. it did mean no cooking or cleaning but that was about it. the service was either too fast or too slow, we got the table next to the toilets and the food was decidely average. oh well. we were back a little after 9pm, fortuitously to put punky back to sleep as she had just woken up at that time.

on sunday morning she woke at 6am but was gotten up, changed, dressed, breakfasted and taken out by her grandparents. this was a first for her. i think she's always seen either paul or i as the first person of the day for all her life. she didn't seem at all fazed and reportedly enjoyed her walk (read- carry on grandads shoulders) along the beach.

she travelled home, awake the whole way, mid afternoon. perhaps she's building some tolerance for car travelling as she didn't holler that her ass was fused to the car seat and please let me out!!

her hunger might be picking up a little too. her cold is passing, 'course today she is back at day care so it'll probably get worse again. hopefully tho with the cold receding she will want to eat more. getting food into her has become number one heart ache for me. she seems to eat like a sparrow. it's stressful and aching to see what might be consumed from one meal to the next. she doesn't seem to be wasting away or anything drastic like that tho so i'll assume she's getting enough and just keep plugging away at it.
