Remember my pregnancy paranoia...well, I seemingly suffer from children paranoia too. You see, Luka was a brilliant sleeper, until she started school. My initial reaction was that Luka is just settling in and still digesting...Last night Gerhard pointed out that some kids are drugged to sleep the entire day and maybe that is what is happening to Luka.
Now I must just point out that Luka's school is actually called a baby centre, there are 6 babies in her class, two people looking after them, it costs a small fortune (varsity would be a steal compared to this), there are see through windows, so everyone can see right into her class.
So last night my mind started wandering to such an extent that I was ready to appoint an au pair this morning, and maybe even home school both. Let us be totally honest, it would be significantly cheaper than what I currently pay.
I had visions of people drugging my cute baba, of her sleeping in her bed the whole day. Of her little mind being under stimulated, so of course when she woke this morning, I started singing to her, massaged her, read a book (cover to cover), did some baby exercise, crossed the midline and I will most certainly be doing the same again later this evening.
When I dropped Luka at her class this morning, we were in such a state that I left the formula container (containing formula) at home. And of course when seeing the class I calmed down again, these are nice people and I guess that nobody becomes a baby school teacher just to get back at the babies.
What a cynical lot we are...
Liam is the baker at school tomorrow, and the teacher sort of hinted at the fact that we might feel like making some savoury treats, so I was seriously thinking of little sausages and pieces of cheese on kebab sticks. Then Gerhard pointed out that the baker man (i.e. Liam) would only be as popular as his wares, so I caved and we will be decorating some Marie biscuits with icing sugar and Smarties tonight. My fall back position is rice crispie and marshmallow treats...Only company secretaries have fall back positions for baker man days ;)
On a side note, happy wedding anniversary Gerhard, love you lots like jelly tots, has it really been 5 years? We celebrated with breakfast seeing as Sekai is in Zim this week, i.e. no babysitter...
