After a cold train journey we arrive in rainy Buxton! We think we've got yhe knack of car seats but this new one just doesn't want to go in despite the eind and the rain outside! Scott gets it sorted and Leila soon falls asleep on the way home.
Sleeping takes a turn for the worst here with Leila not settling for an afternoon nap. We decide to plan our day around an afternoon buggy walk for a nap rather than keep trying at home. But it seems that afternoons aren't our only problem as on the first night Leila wakes up around midnight and doesn't fall asleep for over 2 hours! After trying feeding, shushing, teething granules etc we rearrange the room so that there is a bit more distance between the beds and finally she's down!
Leila has got the hang of presents now and loves tearing the wrapping paper off into little bits to give to us. Her presents here have been well spaced out with just a few a dsy yo open and play with. The lucky girl was treated to lots of brilliant books from her Great Nanny and a Fisher Price baby-grand rrom Grandpa that she just loves!
It's not just presents that keep her entertained here but a bowl of satsumas keep her busy for an hour at the Great Grandparents place as she passes them from one person to another. Her favourite food for snack time turns out to be the crumpet! They are a hit for us too, especially as she can have them with butter now.
We all have a real treat on our last day as the P's come up from London to see us. After doinh the 'charity shop run' we head to the Pavilion Gardens for lunch and soft play. After we've eaten leila becomes captivated by a french horn player in the hot house next door. She can't help but stare and wiggle!
We have a classic packing experience when we go out to buy extra cereal because we have so much space but then end up cramming everything in! The flight home is tough all round but we survive. Scott is struck down by terrible flu/sinus pains and Leila is stuck to my lap for most of the flight (without wanting an afternoon nap of course).
