Nice early start this morning. 5:30am. Excellent. I took Penny downstairs at about 7am to play for a bit (tire her out) and then, just after 8pm we both went back to bed.
Melissa woke me up at about 10am and we both got ready for the day, then, when it became clear Penny wasn't going to wake up, we woke her up ourselves. The cup of cold water idea was not permitted, and I was resorted to a gentle tickling. Annoying.
We were up and out about 20 minutes later, and up to Mel's mum and dads for breakfast. We stayed there for most of the afternoon, my father in law and I watched Hook whilst supervising Penny. Melissa and her mum got ready or something. I don't know. They were faffing, I know that much.
It was Mel's mum birthday (happy birthday Judy!) and we went to The Stanley for lunch. Roast dinner, not great, but not terrible, then at about 5pm we came home as Melissa was due in work at 6pm.
Penny and I played for as long as I could take it. She was knackered and the simplest things set her off. Add that to the fact she's teething something wicked and it all equals one grumpy baby. When it became clear she wasn't going to make it until 7pm I took her upstairs and gave her a bottle, during which she fell asleep.
I dumped her in her cot and set about my chores (cat litter, recycling) and now it's time for TV and an early night.
See you tomorrow!
