pyjama game
Saturday, July 07, 2007
Maggie made her social début yesterday at the pyjama party at Becca's crèche. It's taken us a while to bring her there for various tedious logistical reasons, mostly to do with my post-surgical immobility, but last night we finally made it, and when we arrived it soon became clear just how much Becca's been longing to show off her new baby sister to her wee colleagues and teachers. She spent the entire evening doing the rounds of the room, accosting adults and children alike ('Come and see my baby sister!') and hauling them bodily across the room to admire Maggie sleeping in her carseat in the corner ('Crouch down! Crouch down!'). And then running back to her table for another fistful of chips, and a new victim.
Predictably, Maggie's condemned to a lifetime of being compared to and with her big sister and as it's the differences that intrigue me more, these are what I've tended to blog about and will probably keep on blogging about (apparently some babies actually get pissed off with being jiggled about and sung to in order to make them go to sleep, and would far rather be placed in their cradle in a darkened room: who knew?) However in spite of her many differences from her big sister, Maggie's reaction to her first batch of vaccinations, to my relief, was exactly the same: passed out for twelve hours with a quick mid-sleep break for feeding, then woke up a bright-eyed box of fluffies at two AM with no sign of ill effects of any kind, and no inclination to go back to sleep either.
