Day Five

6.18am You know, the bit of the morning that is most annoying is piling on layers of clothes to go out into the minus two conditions to do the kennel hand business. This layering happens on a full bladder with lots of jiggling. I don't like that bit of the day.

The dogs are so damn pleased to see me when I get there while I walk around like a zombie sickened by their excitement. Don't they know it is only a little bit past the middle of the night? I feel the love but honestly I don't deserve it before I have my coffee.

8.00 am (on the dot I might add) I hear little "ahh, ahh" whispering away on the monitor. So cute!!! Yesterday he was saying "Nananana" heaps. It may not actually be "Nana" intentionally but I'm claiming it!

8.15am and my favourite part of the day is here. bottle and lots of snuggles in bed. We are ready for the sequel of Old MacDonald's book though.

 Good time for Nana and Nixon selfies!!!

 9.30ish back to bed after having a wee bit of weetibix and fruit. Was a bit too grumpy to have it all.

10.40 back up after having a good old talk to himself in his bed for a while. I think it was an argument with himself. It got pretty loud in there followed by some tense silent moments.

12ish Finally someone appreciates my cooking. Nixon pigged out on a large serving of mashed vegetables prepared, cooked, mashed and served by ME!!! Eat your heart out Grandad. Nixon is getting the primo meals. I'll be all cooked out before Grandad gets back!

 1.30pm ish back into bed after a lovely goodbye smooch with Hannah before she hit the road back to the Coast.

 2.00 Finally got to the stain in the carpet. A bit of google "how to get baby pooh out of carpet" and I had a plan.

 

Now to leave it over night and see if the magic works!

4.00 pm ish Look who arrived!! Just finished the dogs and we had even more people visit - the olds!!! Great Granny and Great Grandad Paterson!

 Great Grandad and Nixon having chin wag. Talking about milk tankers and carpet pooh (a wee bit of bragging on Nixon's part). Grandad was impressed!

5.30pm The nightly snuggle time with Nixon and Charlie after the bath. No poops on the carpet tonight. Nearly house trained!!!

7.00 Bottle and bed (and for Nixon too - before you say anything smart again Kate Veale!!)

After Nixon went to bed Nana Pam cooked the mean feed of Pumpkin Soup then Blue Cod and Lemon Sauce with coleslaw. Yummmmmm.
