O why o why am I tired?

Could it be linked to waking continuously through the night to feed a suddenly and unusually voracious two-year-old? As in, feeds of 30-60 minutes, frequently throughout the night?

I have no idea why she needs this, but it could be linked to the upheaval around the new flooring and the consequent lack of proper meals (we don't have space for the stuff we need to move to lay the floors, truly). If this is so, it will stop this week. If this is not so, I am so in trouble.

Also, tomorrow I have a whole lot of conflicting appointments. I have a compulsory supervision session to keep my qualification as a BfN helper, at 9:30 for two hours. I have a couples therapy appointment at 10:30, and a breastfeeding picnic in London at 11 or so.

I have no childcare arranged for the therapy, and nor, I am willing to bet, has Rob. We also haven't done our homework. Though now the floor's done we might get it done this evening.

Unless I go to sleep first.

Emer has excellent enunciation

Words like "Lip," "Lid," and "Bike" are child's play to her. "St" and "Th" are still tricky, as are all the R sounds I recognise as such, though perhaps some English accents would recognise her as pronouncing Rs. For some reason "nappy" is "bappy" and "teapot" is "bebop" but I'm sure that will even out in time. "Wuhk" may be a perfectly reasonable pronunciation of "work" for this country; I used to think Linnea wasn't pronouncing "ball" yet until I listened to my father-in-law say it and realised I'd been mistaking her accent for baby-talk.

Today's new word: OK.
