Addictive love

It is the eve of Cat's first day back at work and she has turned in early for the night. To ensure a good night's sleep, earplugs are in and Daddy is on midnight duty. Yes, the little one still does not sleep a full night and regularly wakes up crying. Is this normal? Who cares. It is normal for us now and we're pretty certain it won't be long before she growes out of it.



I have to say that right now, life as a Dad and as a family is wonderful. Each day with Aimee brings both me and Cat immense joy and satisfaction, more so now than ever before. She gives so much joy and fun back to us thatnot a day goes by without us breaking down in fits of giggles at Aimee's antics. Our friend Steve said that hanging around Aimee was addictive. That would be a very good explanation of things. Sure things aren't always that easy - especially at nappy changing time where she has the will of a tyrant as she struggles and fights to avoid the big clean-up. But boy oh boy, what a cutie she is.

I'll report on how my new role as daddy pick-up goes as Cat gets settled in to work and I add the nursery pick-up into my routine.
