We saw the New Year in from home last night...after all Mikey can't exactly be left alone plus I still have the remnants of the flu and didn't think anyone would appreciate me sharing that around!
Mikey went off to sleep fairly easily...Daddy has reprogrammed Scout so he had lots of lullabies to lull him off to sleep! We then settled down with the TV and a couple of boxes of tissues to await the arrival of 2011. For some reason the fireworks started about 9.30 and carried on all evening! After midnight the sky seemed full of Chinese lanterns - hopefully all the relevant authorities were warned this year and nobody reported UFOs or emergency flares this year!
The fireworks from London were pretty impressive - we copied them and Mikey watched them this morning, he seemed to find them quite engrossing and just watched them quietly! Maybe I need to make lots of recordings of fireworks to keep him calm!!! He's also started grabbing anything he can get his hands on...it all then goes straight into his mouth and however much he stuffs in he still seems able to scream at an ear drum splitting pitch! We have yet to find his volume control, his dummy is useless as he can scream round it!
Wish Scout was around when my kids were little. Emily's Scout was the first that I met... such a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteMikey loves him and he is great at bedtime!!!
