7am wake up today with no Phoebe woo! Got myself dressed and Phoebe appeared to demand grumpily that I dress her. Held out till I was finished and then went down to help, and looked in on Lydia who was dressing. Tom gave kids a scotch pancake each to help with hungry.
Down for breakfast and packing bags and out the door again with minimal shouting, another win! Met one of Lydia's friend en route whilst walking to school, and the kids sped off chasing them on their scooter. Got to juniors just as Lydia's class was going in, and then rushed up hill to drop Phoebe, having a chat about sycamore key helicopters and who celebrates Diwali.
Drop off done, sped down the hill to make in back in time for today's meeting on organisational structural change. Knitted a sleeve on a baby cardi whilst listening in. Also had call from nurse about a medical condition of Phoebe's.
Once my half day was done, skipped out on the gym again to meet my friend Nicole from Dance for lunch in Lyndhurst. We went to the Forge cafe and had some really nice food. Could have talked for hours, she's so interesting!
On the way back for the school run, dropped off a Vinted parcel and just about made it back in time for picking up Phoebe. Lydia goes to a friend's for tea on Wednesday to save me dragging her to Phoebe's ballet which I super appreciate.
Took Phoebe for tea at the Sainsbury's cafe in Portswood before ballet, her preferred spot at the moment. Mini all day breakfast for her and fish finger sandwich for me. Then sped over to ballet in the Portswood Residents Gardens Pavilion. Lucky residents who subscribe to have such fancy gardens and tennis courts.
25 mins of knitting in the car later, back home to drop Phoebe with Tom for some quality Daddy Phoebe Lego time in a bid to get over this only Mummy will do phase. I went to pick up Lydia before getting into the bedtime whirl as Tom was going out.
Much shouting from me to actually get Phoebe to stay sat on the toilet later, fortunately Lydia pretty self sufficient this evening. Needed to use her picture card chart, but that's actually pretty helpful.
Now in bed with Phoebe again waiting for her to drop off. a bomb site of a kitchen awaits me as the cleaner is off sick this week. Might squeeze in some yoga again tonight like last night if I'm lucky.
