Today was a great day! After a really restful Sunday (thanks to Donna for babysitting Elsie) i felt energetic (and claustrophobic) enough for an outing Monday. We decided to try and stick to Elsie's normal routine as much as possible. So we headed out to Moodfood cafe at 8am despite Joel and I waking up at 7:40am. We were quite proud that we were up, dressed and had both girls ready to go by the time our cleaner Danka arrived at 8am. Danka normally fusses over Elsie , playing with her and helping her into the pushchair etc. Danka is a big hit with Elsie! Today Danka made a fuss over the new baby instead and Elsie did not like it. Not one little bit! But we managed to avert full blown meltdown and made it out the door to Moodfood.
Joel and I ate almond croissants and drank the terrible coffee, Elsie had her usual (toast with jam and a fluffy milk), and Lila had breast milk. Oh yes, we also decided to start test driving baby names this week starting with Delilah/Lila today. Elsie was spoilt because Lucy, the cafe owner, made Elsie an extra fluffy on the house to celebrate becoming a big sister!
After Moodfood we normally head down to the gym where Elsie attends creche and I go to a 10am spin class. Well that wasn't going to happen today! But we headed to the gym anyway where Elsie got to say hi to all her friends before we took her to play in the soft play area (think slide and ball pit) then toddler gym (think bouncy castle and music). Elsie loved it! She was so cute bouncing all around and dancing to the music. Lila was brilliant too. Slept through most of it and I was relieved to just get out of the house!
