Hickory Dickorys xx

I woke up to my alarm going off at 8am this morning, stay and play was at 10 o' clock, Eva was still fast asleep. I lay in bed wondering should I take Eva? Should I stay home? Hmmmmm.... I decided in the end to just chill. We'd never missed a week before and we were going to Hickory Dickorys later. It was lovely to just be at home this morning with my baby girl, not rushing to be somewhere. We had lots of cuddles and laughs, and played with Eva's toys, and it was just lovely to not rush and just enjoy some quality time, just the two of us.

Eva went down for her sleep at 12.45. We were meeting at Hickory Dickorys at 2.30pm, which meant I needed to get Eva up by about 2ish. Considering she normally has about 2 hours when she's home, I didn't wake her til nearly 2.30 (which I felt awful doing) and we got to Hickorys for just before 3.

We met Louise with little Rhys and Lisa with Harry and James and had a wonderful time. We started off in the baby ball pit and Eva was kicking her little legs as usual, kicking all the balls. Eva gave Harry lots and lots of kisses, which was extremely cute. Today's pic shows her giving him lovely smiles. Then Louise got me to take Eva on the wiggly slide, well, that was hilarious. To even get to the slide, you had to climb up and around a little assault course, with Eva in tow off I set, it was very comical. I have to admit I was a little nervous coming down the slide for the first time, as I wasn't sure how fast I'd go and was worried Eva wouldn't like it, but it was great fun and Eva seemed to like it. We did it about 4 times in the end. :-) We then went over to the cafe area. We sat the little ones in highchairs and they each had a little snack made up of rice cakes, bread sticks, raisins, and pasta twirls and I'd got a few toys and books in my bag so they were well occupied, while the mommies chatted. I treated myself to a hot chocolate and some cake mmmmm. Had a really lovely time and we all decided we need to arrange things like that more often. Xxxx
