This week we have been mainly….sitting and sleeping late.



Leila has a new obsession with sitting down at the moment.  She loves finding new things to sit on.  She has discovered that if she turns her wooden activity box upside-down then it is the perfect height to plonk her bottom on!  Her favourite thing is to sit on this at her little piano and then plonk away at that (although this new seating arrangement does allow her to become all ‘Jerry Lee Lewis’ with her playing and put her feet up on the keyboard!).

When we went to Carrefour at the weekend Leila was on the lookout for new places to sit and was very pleased with herself when she sat down on the foot rail of the freezer aisle. 

Leila has been sleeping later in the mornings now and she is generally sleeping past 6am and often past 7am.  She is sleeping through until some time between 4am and 5am; at which point she gets a feed from me and then goes back to sleep.  The later wake up means that her morning nap has been creeping later in the day and her afternoon nap doesn’t always happen.  We decided last week that if she was only going to nap once a day then we needed to try and shift this from the morning to the afternoon so that we can actually get to morning activities and see people (as otherwise she has been sleeping through Music Class, Bounce and Rhyme and BCA Family Group)!  We’ve been on the new routine for five days now and it seems to be working as she’s not too tired during the day, is generally having a decent afternoon nap and is definitely enjoying getting out and about!
