'Nea yike a girl

Until I put her in a dress this morning, Linnea was a boy. Then she was like a girl.

Sometimes, she's neither - Are you a girl? No! Are you a boy? No! What are you? I'm a 'Nea!

TV didn't go on until 5 pm today.

In useful news, we've found a drop-in creche willing to take her irregularly to cover medical appointments and so on. They're open 9:30-11:30 and 12:30-14:30. They're the only place in Reading doing occasional care during working hours, as far as we can make out - and even then they are actually associated with an adult education centre and only take non-students' children as a favour. We'll have to book in advance but it should be ok for a few tries anyway. Maybe I need to find a nursery to take her one morning a week and always schedule medical etc appointments for that day.

I'm sure I remember creches when I was younger. The Oracle shopping centre used to have one but it closed a while ago.

Need more friends with babies who are home during the week. The only reliable one I know, right now, has a 4-month-old who doesn't sleep, and a two-year-old who is in nursery two days a week. She's already on the brink of collapse. I'm looking for more.
