The loss of the day sleep

Is, to many, a parent’s worst nightmare. We have been fortunate and Brodie still has his day sleeps at childcare. At home, it is very hit and miss, although you can almost guarantee that he will not have one on a Saturday. And that if I am particularly tired on a Wednesday, he won’t have a sleep either. Today he fought the day sleep, but as you can see he fell sound asleep in front of the telly. Watching Hi5, which I thought was banned in this house???!!! Although if it puts him to sleep on a day that he desperately needs to sleep, the Hi-5 ban can be lifted!

Actually, we have banned a few shows, the mean parents that we are. The Fairies are banned as they drive me insane! Hi-5 are far too perky, and we have avoided them until recently. We love, love, love Thomas the Tank, Bob the builder, Dora and Shaun the Sheep. I love Shaun the Sheep the best, it is really funny.

Speaking of fairies, the dummy fairy came this week. The deal was that Brodie left out his dummies for the dummy fairy and she brought him a present. The present was a cranky the crane, which is a Thomas the tank accessory. Brodie knew the deal and decided that he was ready to ditch the dummies and ready for cranky to join all his other Thomas trains. Look, things went better than expected and 6 days later, he only half heartedly asks for the dummy once or twice per day. So all appears to be going well and no separation anxiety at all J
